Yemen's water storage is similar as other countries. Yemen uses small dams for storage or the underground tanks. Yemen doesn't uses same design of dam like other countries. Yemen's small dams look like; people dig up ground so it located in undergound and it's surrounded high stairs.

This storage is traditional storage and it started from 100 years ago. Also there is depth mean in this traditional storage; in Yemen doesn't have enough water to drink for everyone but if they build like this, when there are rain, they can get water from rain. If they build this dam, they can save amount of water for people. By this dam, Yemen people get amount of water and they can cook, wash, irrigate and etc.

Tawila is one of the city in Yemen and the water storage from Tawila is very poplular because there is other design of water storage and many different size of water storage.

Yemen has 53 water tanks but now there is only 13 water tanks remained which they are rebuild by Britain in 19th century. Since 15 years ago water haven't filled in water tank and they don't give water for people living in city.
