Lack of water



The daily struggle for water is something the people are suffering from in many countries of the world, for example, we will talk about the Republic of Yemen. Children and women crowd around public faucets to collect water and return to the homes and for daily use. A lot of people aren’t able to pay water fees. The statistics shows each Yemeni only has access to about 140m3 comparing to the other Middle East countries where the average of each person is 1000m3. Some of those reasons were random digging and using the traditional way in the irrigation. Rapid intervention by the government is needed to solve this problem. If the government don’t put this problem on the top of the list of government priorities Sana'a, which is the city suffering most from this situation, will be the first capital in the world to run out of a viable water supply. There are some solutions to end this problem like to drill or truck in water. In my opinion the best solution is to ban qat cultivation which is one of the main reasons for this problem because it consumes large amounts of water In contrast, on the other hand there is no product to improve the standard of living.
