Water Trucking in Yemen
Water Trucking in Yemen
Researchers found that between 70-and 80 percent of all rural conflicts in Yemen are related to water.
The Situation
Yemen’s water shortage is far worse than that of any other country in the Middle East. The average person in the Middle East has 1,250 millimeter (mm) of water per year. The average person in Yemen has 140 mm of water per year.
The water crisis in Yemen has the potential to cause the destruction of the nation. The water crisis was triggered by a sharp population increase, misguided agricultural policies promoting the use of water, a lack of governmental regulation on using water, and a vulnerable climate to global warming.
