Imagine one day the water taps (Ë®ÁúÍ·) in your house stop running. You have to pay a lot of money to buy water from shops. And still there isn¡¯t enough water for everyone. Your mother has to save the family¡¯s shower water to use for washing clothes. Would you be able to stand that kind of life?
Probably not. But that is what kids in Yemen (Ò²ÃÅ) are experiencing (¾Àú). According to a report, the capital, Sana, will run out of drinking water as early as 2025.
Because of the water shortage (¶Ìȱ), the Yemen government often cuts the water supply (¹©Ó¦). Hannan, an 18-year-girl, tells the Teens, ¡°In a good week we¡¯ll have a water supply all week. But then the next week there will be water only for a day or two.¡±
Hannan says only rich people have enough water to use. They can buy water from the shops or from the water trucks. Private (˽È˵Ä) companies own the trucks, They travel around the city every day to sell water--- at very high prices.
¡° A lot of people can¡¯t pay for it,¡± she says.
The government is thinking of making use of seawater. But it will cost a lot and it may not happen soon enough to help the people of Yemen.
