Abyan Delta farmers demand stop to illegal well drilling
Farmers in the Al-Nash Al-Kaud area in the Khunfara District of Abyan Delta have pointed out that the Water Resources Office in the province is issuing random drilling permits for wells, leading to water depletion and threatening agriculture in the region. Despite previous directives to halt unregulated drilling, the unorganized activity continues, risking the collapse of agriculture and soil salinity in the province’s food basket. The farmers are calling for accountability of the officials, the suspension of uncontrolled permits, and the formation of a committee to review existing licenses and ensure that no new wells are drilled without scientific studies.
