Water scarcity and climate change adaptation for Yemen's vulnerable communities

The research uses WEAP software to model water scarcity in Sana’a, Sadah, and Aden City, finding that current and predicted consumption patterns are a more significant driver of vulnerability than climate change and will lead to the full depletion of available supplies without urgent intervention.

• Current and projected water consumption patterns are a more significant driver of vulnerability in the studied regions of Yemen than potential climate change, and these patterns are expected to fully deplete available water supplies.
• Without the implementation of new strategies to balance water supply and demand, the water crisis in the case study areas of Sana’a, Sadah, and Aden City is expected to worsen.
• Management strategies identified through stakeholder processes have the capacity to increase resilience and reduce vulnerability to water scarcity.
