Water Crisis

Without water no life and no future, from this pint I am with the Indian Nobel said”, water is called the elixir of life”. Water is necessary for all living beings. Human beings, animal, all the kinds of plants need water. Although the earth consist of two third of water and third of land, many countries still face a crisis on storage of water. This crisis has the potential to be a reason that damages the nation. Yemen is one the highest rate of consuming of water sources in the Middle East. Therefore, water crisis in Yemen may be soon becomes a catastrophic level, unless immediate intervention is taken. In consequence, the Yemeni government should be taken on its consideration the best solutions, such as rainfall water gathering, improving the irrigation efficiency technique and raising the community’s awareness to manage the water properly.

Rainfall water gathering is the key to preventing as much as raindrops from being wasted. The Yemeni government should have a clear strategy plan to construct dams to get in the way of water from flowing. It also should allocate in its budge an accurate amount to implement this strategy. For example, if we go back through the Yemen old history, we will find the most of civilizations have been dependent on the dam constructions, such as Marb’s dam which is mentioned in the Holly Quran. It is greatly easier and more effective to use surface water instead of drilling and pumping groundwater.

Developing the irrigation efficiency is also important technique. Most of Yemeni farmers still use the traditional irrigation system. Consequently, more than 60 percent of this system is lost due to outflows. However, the productivity of this system is only between 30-40 percent, which means a lot of water is lost. Developing this system, through use of better a new technology technique is affected. For instant, pips and sprinkler systems would directly reduce the percentage of wasting. Accordingly, improving systems will represent
