Yemen faces severe water scarcity problems that threaten its environment and population. Over 90% of Yemen's water is used for agriculture, primarily to grow qat, an addictive plant. Qat consumes about 60% of the country's agricultural water usage. Yemen's population is also growing rapidly, further straining limited water resources. The government is considering strategies like moving the capital city, desalination plants, or reducing qat production, but each option faces challenges in implementation.
