News Analysis: Rifts [Splitting of the soil] occurring to farmers in Yemen are causing them anguish since the ability to farm the areas is diminished as well as possibly dangerous to all. The continued flow of water emanating from seepage in canals can easily get worse. It is possible that a great profusion of water, over time, might create Sinkholes.
The lack of engineering controls by the Yemeni Government, in Sana’a, exacerbates the problem. One would expect the Yemeni Government to being receptive to investors who could provide funding for Agronomists, Geologists, Hydrologists being hired. These specialists could come from world universities as graduate students needing subject matter to work on.
Turning the area into a fertile productive agricultural area, maintained by the hard-working Yemenis, would provide long term profits to said investors.
Citizens of Yemen in general, farmers in particular as well as both the Yemeni Government and graduate students would all benefit from this process.
Profits go to he who leads the followers, not he who follows the leaders.
