A view of Amman,
where 40 percent of Jordan’s population lives.
Most of the water
from rivers and aquifers is sent to Amman,
but the shortage
is greater in the south,
which is hotter
and drier than the rest of the country.

Jordan Is Running
Out of Water, a Grim Glimpse of the Future
The small Middle
Eastern nation is already one of the driest countries in the world
and rising heat,
coupled with a growing population, is making things much worse.

The water level in
the Dead Sea,
a major tourist
attraction and a source of minerals
that are coveted
for beauty and bath products,
has dropped
dramatically.

If It Were My Home
The headlines tell a lot
about the crisis in Yemen:
internal strife,
evacuations
of international aid workers,
Saudi Arabian airstrikes.
But you may have
one very basic question
that you can't easily find
an answer for:
How big is Yemen,
anyway?
You can look at maps
and check out Wikipedia
but wouldn't it be great
to just to slap an outline of Yemen
on top of a map of the United States
to get a sense of its size?
IfItWereMyHome.com
lets you do just that.
