VOICED : Qat habit drains Yemens precious groundwater

Yemen faces a severe water crisis exacerbated by the cultivation of qat, a lucrative crop that consumes vast amounts of water. Unlicensed drilling has led to a significant drop in the water table, threatening the country's water resources.

Proposed solutions include banning groundwater use for high-water-consuming crops and focusing on renewable water sources.
