" We are now short of water for irrigation and have to wait until it rains to plant some seeds." says a farmer. In the past, he recalls, there was plenty of water and it flowed on the surface of the ground The city Ta'iz sunk several new wells into the Al-Haima area, after reassuring the farmers that it would only tap into deep water, leaving the surface water for the villager. But it did not happen. The villagers' well went dry. There is no water for agriculture or to drink. Disputes over water are common in Yemen. Two villagers would fightt for a water spring. A major problem in Yemen was the absence of a central water authority and national water policy.
