La Syrie fait face à son été le plus sec depuis 60 ans. Les pertes en blé sont massives : environ 75% des terres cultivables sont touchées d'après l'ONU, ce qui menace la sécurité alimentaire de plus de 16 millions de personnes. Dans la région de Deraa, l'une des plus agricoles du pays, les barrages sont à sec et les agriculteurs inquiets.  De notre envoyée spéciale de retour de Deraa, Le barrage d'Ibta ne ressemble plus qu'à un cratère calciné : une coulée de sable, des crevasses, des fissures et tout autour, des champs brûlés. Avec les années, les agriculteurs sont tous partis, raconte Yaza, 19 ans, jeune berger comme son père et son grand-père avant lui. « Cette année, c'est pire que tout. Nous n'avons plus assez d'eau, plus assez de plantes pour nourrir nos moutons », témoigne-t-il. En un an, son troupeau a été décimé. Il a perdu la moitié de ses moutons, qui meurent un à un.  Dans la région de Deraa, tout le monde vous le dira : en 60 ans, il n'y a jamais eu de pénurie d'eau d'une telle ampleur. La faute à un hiver sans précipitations, aux effets du changement climatique, mais aussi, dans le sud du pays, aux incursions israéliennes qui s'emparent des ressources stratégiques en eau. Au lendemain de la chute du régime de Bachar el-Assad, ces dernières se sont déployées dans la zone tampon démilitarisée du Golan, et sont depuis accusées de prendre possession des ressources stratégiques en eau. « Ils ont pris le contrôle de barrages stratégiques, des barrages qui étaient des sources d'eau, affirme Aref, un agriculteur. Depuis, il n'y a plus d'eau pour personne. » À lire aussiLa Syrie fait face à une sécheresse extrême engendrée par le changement climatique « Tous les arbres fruitiers sont asséchés cette année » Ici, plus qu'ailleurs encore, les effets de ce stress hydrique sont visibles. La région est l'une des plus agricoles du pays, surnommée le « grenier » de la Syrie. « ​​​​​​​Même les oliviers, les pêchers, les pruniers... Tous les arbres fruitiers sont asséchés cette année », nous affirme Abu Aysam, également agriculteur, en empilant une à une ses cagettes de pommes de terre. De ses hectares de champs, il ne cultive cette année que la moitié. Cette sécheresse est aggravée par les effets des politiques menées par le clan Assad. Avant sa chute, le régime a soigneusement pillé les puits et conduits d'eau des quartiers et villes révolutionnaires, compliquant aujourd'hui l'irrigation des terres, mais aussi celle des villes, jusqu'à la capitale, Damas.  Avec son association Al-Seeraj, Kinan Al Kudsi, franco-syrien, s'est donné la mission de réhabiliter les 22 puits de la banlieue sud de Damas : « On estime que rien qu'à Damas, 500 puits ne fonctionnent pas. » Dans le bureau du centre de pompage, la plupart des panneaux électriques sont encore éteints. Coût du projet : 150 000 dollars. « ​​​​​​​L'État ne nous donne pas les fonds nécessaires. Mais si tu veux reconstruire le pays, la première chose, c'est de reconstruire le système d'eau... », poursuit-il. Tout à coup, la pluie tombe. Au milieu de la chaleur de l'été – quelque 48°C –, tout le monde se rue dehors. Pas question, pour Kinan, de perdre une occasion de se rafraîchir.  À lire aussiSyrie: la sécheresse et le manque d'eau, un défi de plus pour la population et le nouveau pouvoir
