Tóm tắt

 This note contains a summary, for practitioners, of the World Bank report Republic of Yemen country Water Resources Assistance Strategy (CWRAS). The preparation of a CWRAS is timely, given the rising pressure placed on water resources by the rapidly growing population and the emergence of lessons learned from a recent review of World Bank water projects in Yemen. This section reviews the current situation in Yemen, focusing on the following five key challenges facing the water sector: (i) over-extraction of groundwater
  (ii) equitable and efficient valuation and allocation of water
  (iii) meeting the millennium development goals (MDG) in potable water and sanitation
  (iv) the need to protect water sources and the quality of water
  and (v) building institutional capacity in the public sector.
