Yemeni
people in conflict with water resources
The problem of water
resources in the country of Yemen has risen lately to a very dangerous degree.
People in a city like Sana’a may face the problem of not finding water to use
in their daily life. Women and children often queue in line for long hours to
fetch water to their homes. Others go long distances to shallow unclean lakes
to carry water back home. The scarcity of rainwater, the randomly excavating of
wells as well as not using irrigation technology by the government is causing
the problem to be worse. Compared to an average of one thousand cubic meters of
water available to people only one hundred forty cubic meters are available for
the people in Yemen to consume.
