Despite the amount of rainfall decreasing and the rate of depletion of groundwater used for agriculture increasing, many Yemenis are unaware of the water crisis facing the country. The use of solar power to extract water has accelerated the rate of water consumption, and instead of solar energy being a solution for farmers, it has become a major issue. While Yemen is one of the countries most affected by climate change, it is also one of the least likely to benefit from climate funds.
