March 22 marked World Water Day, an initiative by the United Nations to raise awareness about the importance of conservation and the repercussions of depletion and pollution. In Yemen, eight years of conflict have resulted in instability, the collapse of basic services, increased unemployment, and severe economic disruptions, particularly within the agricultural sector.
On World Water Day, an event was organized in Tarim for farmers and agricultural engineers to exchange experiences, and to urge farmers to make better use of the modern irrigation technologies that the program has made available.- Thanks to UNDPYemen
