  • Clell Pete, 66, a member of the Goshute Tribe, is measuring the water table at an abandoned water hole near Eight Mile, in the Goshute Reservation of Deep Creek Valley, on the Nevada-Utah border, USA. Clell began measuring it once a week since November 2012, in order to document the development of the water table. As of March 2013, the water table is at 65,11 meters and has only varied by a few centimetres since November 2012. Once the projected water pipeline of South Nevada Water Authority (SNWA) will be built and operated from nearby Spring Valley, the Goshute tribe will be able to measure the acquifers. A considerable drop would also prove the Goshute's assumption is correct, and that in fact the aquifers of Spring Valley and Deep Creek Valley are interconnected: a water withdrawal from Spring Valley would also affect the water supply for nearby Deep Creek Valley, and for the Goshute Reservation.

  • Azharuddin Ismail, 10, the child actor playing the role of 'young Salim', the brother of Jamal, protagonist of Slumdog Millionaire, the famous movie winner of 8 Oscar Academy Awards in December 2008, is buying a local Indian tobacco product for his father on the streets surrounding the slum where he still lives with his family next to the train station of Bandra (East), Mumbai, India. Various promises were made to lift the two young actors (Azharuddin Ismail and Rubina Ali) from poverty and slum-life but as of the end of May 2009 anything is yet to happen. Rubina's house was recently demolished with no notice as it lay on land owned by the Maharashtra train authorities and she is now permanently living with her uncle's family in a home a stone-throw away in the same slum. Azharuddin's home too was demolished in the past two weeks, as it happens every year in his case, as the concrete walls were preventing local authorities to clear a drain passing right behind it. As usual, his father is looking into restoring the walls as soon as the work on the drain has been completed.

  • Remains of Rubina Ali's house in the slum where she still lives with her family next to the train station of Bandra (East), Mumbai, India, are photographed after her home was recently demolished with no notice as it lay on land owned by the Maharashtra train authorities. She is now permanently living with her uncle's family in a home a stone-throw away in the same slum. Rubina Ali, 9, is the child actor playing the role of 'young Latika', the friend/lover of Jamal, protagonist of Slumdog Millionaire, the famous movie winner of 8 Oscar Academy Awards in December 2008. Various promises were made to lift the two young actors (Azharuddin Ismail and Rubina Ali) from poverty and slum-life but as of the end of May 2009 anything is yet to happen. Azharuddin's home too was demolished in the past two weeks, as it happens every year in his case, because the concrete walls were preventing local authorities to clear a drain passing right behind it. As usual, his father is looking into restoring the walls as soon as the work on the drain has been completed.

  • Dean Baker, 72, owner of the largest ranch in Snake Valley, is talking on the phone inside his home near Baker, Utah, USA. Although opposing South Nevada Water Authority (SNWA) 300-mile water pipeline project, he is one of the very few inhabitants of Snake Valley that is supporting Utah Governor Gary R. Herbert to sign a legal agreement between Utah and Nevada. This document should protect their future rights and the local environment, but would also allow for the beginning of the pipeline construction: many people fear that once pumping water, it will not be easily stopped, even if breaching any of the points outlined within the agreement.
