Nepal Starts Clearing Charred Vehicles, Government Buildings As Damage Assessment Continues
A worker cleans the debris off the premises of the Ministry of Energy, Water Resources, and Irrigation inside Singhadurbar, the administrative capital of Nepal, following the Gen-Z uprising on September 19, 2025. In the aftermath of the Gen-Z protests, insurance claims continue to rise, with preliminary claims standing at 20.70 billion, reflecting the scale of destruction during the September 8 and 9 agitations. According to records with the Nepal Insurance Authority (NIA), a total of 1,984 claims are filed by Thursday, almost all linked to private businesses and properties. With public structures uninsured, companies are spared from additional exposure except for government vehicles under third-party liability coverage. Some insurers face unprecedented pressure.

California's historic water law
'Lost communities': thousands of wells in rural California may run dry. Years of pumping, drought and a thirsty agriculture industry have taken a heavy toll on the water supply – and new plans are leaving vulnerable residents behind. Pictured: A blossoming orchard at dawn in Laton, California, February 22nd, 2020.California began regulating surface water in rivers and streams in 1914, but it took the state another 100 years to look underground. In 2014, for the first time in its history, California passed a law regulating the use of groundwater – the resource on which 85% of its population and much of its $50bn agriculture industry rely. This year marks the first big deadline for the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (Sgma), as dozens of agencies complete initial plans to protect overdrafted water resources.

Years of pumping, drought and a thirsty agriculture industry have taken a heavy toll on the water supply – and new plans are leaving vulnerable residents behind. Pictured: A home in Lanare, California, February 22nd, 2020. Lanare is home to roughly 550 people and had contaminated water for years. Last year, long-plagued Lanare finally got clean water.
Isabel Solorio hold a seat “on a rural community advisory committee for the groundwater sustainability agency that oversees their community of Lanare southwest of Fresno. Lanare is home to roughly 550 people who lived for more than a decade with water tainted by dangerous levels of the heavy metal arsenic, which has been tied to cancer, cardiovascular disease and cognitive development problems in children. That arsenic is naturally occuring in the clays deep underground, where it has seeped into lower levels of the water table that may have been in the aquifer for tens of thousands of years. “California began regulating surface water in rivers and streams in 1914, but it took the state another 100 years to look underground.

'Lost communities': thousands of wells in rural California may run dry. Years of pumping, drought and a thirsty agriculture industry have taken a heavy toll on the water supply – and new plans are leaving vulnerable residents behind. Pictured: Water in a canal in Del Rey, California, February 21st, 2020.California began regulating surface water in rivers and streams in 1914, but it took the state another 100 years to look underground. In 2014, for the first time in its history, California passed a law regulating the use of groundwater – the resource on which 85% of its population and much of its $50bn agriculture industry rely. This year marks the first big deadline for the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (Sgma), as dozens of agencies complete initial plans to protect overdrafted water resources.

California's historic water law
'Lost communities': thousands of wells in rural California may run dry. Years of pumping, drought and a thirsty agriculture industry have taken a heavy toll on the water supply – and new plans are leaving vulnerable residents behind. Pictured: Nikiko Masumoto (left) with her father David Mas Masumoto (right) (he is holding tools he was using to graft tress in their orchard) on their family farm in Del Rey, where they organic grow peaches, nectarines, apricots and grapes, California, February 21st, 2020.
With little precipitation since January, and the driest February in 150 years, the soil is drying out early. Masumoto is hurrying to plow the fields (weed mitigation) before the soil gets too dry for the plow.California began regulating surface water in rivers and streams in 1914, but it took the state another 100 years to look underground.
