It's hard time for women and children to go through every day for water; they don’t have
good methods to transport water nor can they afford to pump free water to their houses.
The old government worked on solving that problem but after the revolution the
new government didn't give this issues any attention. They said soon they
will start working on it; by trying to stop the random wells digging and to preserve rain water. A huge amount of water is being wasted on planting Qat
which is a drug and it can’t be eaten. Authorities are thinking about rainwater
tanks which will help villagers to have easy access to water without being
forced to travel for a long distance.
The new government should make an effort to try helping people in Yemen
now or in 10 years it’s going to be a disaster due to their region climate and
increase in population.
