stream
Conflict
Person
92
dug
a
well
up
the
stream.
The
villagers
were
afraid
that
this
would
affect
the
supply
of
their
own
well.
Therefore,
they
reported
it
to
the
local
authorities
and
to
the
NWRA.
Actions
were
taken,
but
Person
92
continued
digging

well.

conflict,
Almawasit
district
The
people
of
the
Qihaf
village
versus
People
of
the
Uqf
village
The
people
of
the
Qihaf
village
decided
to
pump
water
from
down
the
wadi/well
into
their
village.
The
people
of
the
Uqf
village
living
on
the
other
side
of
the
wadi
started
drilling
wells
close
to
the
Qihaf
well,
in
search
of
water.
This
happened
too
close
to
the
Qihaf
well,
and
the
Qihaf
villages
took
measures,
including
paying
for
security
personnel
and
informing
the
prosecutor.
Ta’izz:
AlHoroor
Person
94
(local
sheikh,
also
qat
farmer)
versus
Qassem
family
(allround
farmers)
The
main
problem
is
random
well-‐drilling
in
the
area
and
decreasing
water
levels
in
existing
wells.
Qassem
attempted
to
dig
a
well
higher
in
the
valley
than
the
well
of
Person
94.
Person
94
did
not
agree
with
this,
and
eventually
took
the
case
to
court
several
times.
Person
94
won
each
time.
However,
due
to
the
contradictory
statements
of
the
NWRA
in
Ta’izz
and
Sana’a
and
the
Qassems
still
pushing
their
objectives,
the
conflict
is
as
yet
unresolved.
Ta’izz:
Quaradha
and
Al
Marzuaah
village
Qurada
village
versus
Marzooh
village
The
conflict
relates
to
the
share
of
water
produced
by
springs,
with
the
two
villages
located
on
each
side
of
the
wadi.
An
assigned
government
committee
ruled
on
the
division
of
the
water
that
was
saved
in
special
tanks,
but
Quradha
village
refused
to
acknowledge
this
ruling
on
several
occasions.
After
2011,
the
Quradha
villagers
decided
to
take
control
of
the
springs
and
divert
the
tankwater
to
their
side,
leaving
the
people
of
Marzooh
village
without
tankwater.
