Why is the bread basket of Arabia importing more water via grain
than is pumped locally by all sectors and why does nobody notice?
How can the same water be sold to different users at prices varying
by five orders of magnitude? How can the biggest names in
development throw millions of dollars at supplying water to a city
and not an extra drop has emerged? Why do some of the wealthiest
companies in the Middle East and their multinational associates get
away with polluting water resources? This book presents the complex
and fascinating account of Ta'iz, Yemen, a city embroiled in severe
water stress as a consequence of environmental degradation,
political facades, conflicting legal systems, military intervention
and institutional incompetence. The result is a remarkable,
compelling and controversial book which will be essential reading
for academics, development agencies and NGOs around the world.
