UN and ADB join hands to develop water projects in Asia
Good news to hear that the United Nations and the Manila-based Asian Development Bank (ADB) had agreed to collaborate on how to efficiently manage Asia's water resources and bolstering investments in safe and sustainable sanitation in the region. The action came at a time when many parts of Asia, particularly those far-flung areas, have to rely either on poor or undeveloped water distribution and sanitation facilities.
