Yemen is a water scarce country. Like many other developing countries, it is constrained by a lack of natural resources and finds it difficult to secure sufficient water for human consumption and for agricultural irrigation. This raises the question of how to design actions and policies to meet the existing and future water needs of the people of Yemen. An understanding of water institutions is a necessary prerequisite to successful design and implementation of any such actions.

Yemen is a water scarce country. Like many other developing countries, it is constrained by a lack of natural resources and finds it difficult to secure sufficient water for human consumption and for agricultural irrigation. This raises the question of how to design actions and policies to meet the existing and future water needs of the people of Yemen. An understanding of water institutions is a necessary prerequisite to successful design and implementation of any such actions.

This dissertation studies how traditional water rights priorities and allocation mechanisms work in Yemen and it investigates whether these rules conform to Islamic principles. Water rights in traditional agricultural rural regions of Yemen are based on customary institutions including traditional laws or Urrf. Religion, the Islamic law, Sharria'a , is an extremely influential institution shaping traditional communities and their way of life. In Yemen, and similar countries, changes in both formal and informal laws covering the allocation of water will continue to be tested against the general principles of Sharria'a.

This investigation is based on a comparative case study of the experiences surrounding the construction of new dams and reservoirs on seasonal streams in rural areas of Yemen. The construction of these new dams and reservoirs provides a natural experimental setting to analyze water institutions. One hypothesis is that these traditional unwritten laws, having evolved under different water use circumstances, might no longer be applicable to either the new reservoirs or the increased national scarcity of water. An example of the later concerns whether water can be traded among uses and "owners" and/or moved to urban locations. To collect the empirical information, an intensive field survey were designed and implemented. Around 31 dam/reservoir managers were comprehensively interviewed.

The dissertation reviews the literature regarding traditional and Islamic water laws. It presents findings from the survey describing many features of the new dam and reservoir projects. Two chapters focus more specifically on the water rights issues and water prices. Survey results reveal people's perceptions of water rights dimensions including, priority rules, protection, enforcement and conflict resolution processes. Through a detailed analysis, the study was able to explain the powerful role of traditional institutions in water rights allocation and priorities. The results and analysis help understand changes in informal, traditional institutions, and raise the potential for developing new, formal institutions, rules and laws. Analysis suggests some ways in which traditional institutions can be modified to achieve local community, social, and government objectives. Among key factors are water pricing, water allocation rules and the role of the government and local participation, including the cooperation of local Sheikhs. We find that a new physical action (i.e., the new dams and reservoirs) may permit the alteration of traditional water rights rules and laws as long as the changes conform to accepted change mechanisms.

A menu of recommendations and policies are described to help decision-makers address the water scarcity problem. In discussing policy implications we emphasize access to water by the marginalized section of the rural communities, the poor people, landless and women.
