Summary: This article is about a plant called a Qat. which is a nartcotic plant that men and some women chew. This plant is drying out Yemen and leaving the water wells dry.
Critique: I thought that this article was interesting because you don't really read about how a plant is the source of water loss in a counrty. so it caught my attention.
