Yemen: Keeping the water flowing

Yemen is a country of many woes, drought being one of the worst. According to hydrologists, the capital Sana'a will run out of water by 2025. This would make it the first capital in the world to do so. The reason? An environmental crisis that dates back to the seventies, when oil-drilling technology was used to pump the soil dry.
