As the world population continues to increase, per capita environmental resources, such as water, decline. As people aspire to more comfortable lifestyles, those resources are used and then returned to the environment in a more degraded state than when they were taken, thus resulting in pollution. The Yemeni city of Ta'iz (population 4000,000) has experienced both of these processes to a marked and essentially unchecked degree. This study suggests that in order to develop water resources sustainably in areas facing water shortage, an understanding of the factors leading to scarcity require an integrated, interdisciplinary and holistic approach. This hypothesis has been tested in the context of the water shortage crisis in Ta'iz that peaked in the summer of 1995. Due to the demise of the main aquifer supplying the city, water supply declined to deliveries of less than once every 40 days. The impact of water use and misuse on the environment of Ta'iz and hence on those who share it has been extreme. However, as the causes of water scarcity touch other parts of the world, the lessons learnt in Ta'iz may help to serve as early warning and thus contribute to averting future problems.
