Book Description
The project ‘Water for Peace in Yemen: Strengthening the role of women in water conflict resolution’ was funded by the United Nations Secretary-General's Peacebuilding Fund (PBF). The project was implemented jointly by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the International Organization for Migration (IOM), the Hadramout Ministry of Water and Environment, and the Women Water Users Groups (WWUG). The ‘Water for Peace in Yemen’ project aimed at contributing to the mitigation of water-based conflicts that have affected agriculture, with the inclusion of women as conflict-resolution agents. Farming communities (men, women and youth) were engaged by the project to resolve local conflicts over upstream and downstream water allocation. Moreover, the project aimed to introduce drought-tolerant as well as salt-tolerant crops as a climate change mitigation measure in a cash-for-work (CFW) modality. The evaluation found that the project's main achievements were the institutionalization of this role through the water user associations (WUAs) and strengthening the role of women within their communities.

Book Description
The project “Strengthening Food Security Information and Early Warning System,” was a two-year (1 February 2019 – 31 January 2021), EUR 5.9 million project funded by the European Union to scale up the geographic coverage of Yemen’s Food Security Information System. The overall objective of the project was to increase systemic resilience to food crisis and climate change as well as improve food security and nutrition governance for decision-making at the national- and governorate-levels. The project is the latest phase in a series of EU-funded investments since in food security information systems in Yemen, with this project aiming to expand the geographic and technical coverage of previous phases. With these investments expected to continue in the future, the evaluation has aimed to provide accountability to project partners as well as the provision of evidence-based analyses and usable recommendations that feed into programming, policy and decision-making processes.

Book Description
Water utilities worldwide lose 128 billion cubic meters annually, causing annual monetary losses estimated at USD 40 billion. Most of these losses occur in developing countries (74%). This calls for rethinking the challenges facing water utilities in developing countries, foremost of which is the assessment of water losses in intermittent supply networks. Water loss assessment methods were originally developed in continuous supply systems, and their application in intermittently operated networks (in developing countries) is hindered by the widespread use of household water tanks and unauthorised consumption. This study provides an extensive review of existing methods and (software) tools for water loss assessment. In addition, several new methods were developed, which offer improved water loss assessment in intermittent supply. As the volume of water loss varies monthly and annually according to the amount of supplied water, this study proposes procedures to normalise the volume of water loss in order to enable water utilities to monitor and benchmark their performance on water loss management. The study also developed a novel method of estimating apparent losses using routine data of WWTP inflows, enabling future real-time monitoring of losses in networks. Different methods have also been suggested to estimate the unauthorised consumption in networks. This study found that minimum night flow analysis can still be applied in intermittent supply if an area of the network is supplied for several days. Furthermore, this study concluded that water meter performance is enhanced in intermittent supply conditions. However, continuous supply in the presence of float-valves significantly reduces the accuracy of water meters. Finally, this study provides guidance and highlights several knowledge gaps in order to improve the accuracy of water loss assessment in intermittent supply. Accurate assessment of water loss is a prerequisite for reliable leakage modelling and minimisation as well as planning for, and monitoring of water loss management in distribution networks.

Pages : 464
Book Description
Christopher Ward provides a complete analysis of the water crisis in Yemen, including the institutional, environmental, technical and political economy components. He assesses the social and economic impacts of the crisis and provides in-depth case studies in the key management areas. The final part of the book offers an assessment of current strategy and looks at future ways in which the people of the country and their government can influence outcomes and make the transition to a sustainable water economy. The Water Crisis in Yemen offers a comprehensive, practical, and effective approach to achieving sustainable and equitable management of water for growth in a country whose water problems are amongst the most serious in the world.
