Inside The Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam |Africa's Largest Hydroelectric Power Plant

[@Ahmad_Suhairi]

Egypt doesn't have to worry about water shortages from the blue Nile, because every water power plant definitely needs an outflow of water to generate electricity,

[@thomasdevine867]

The main problems for Egypt come from the Aswan Dam. The Nile Delta is cut off from silt to replenish the delta's soil. The Aswan Dam also wastes vast amounts of water, reducing the flow of the Nile. The weakened current of the Nile reduces the protection the flow of the Nile gave to the soils of the delta. Thus, the delta is eroding and becoming sallinized. Even if the Ethiopians were to wait a century to slowly fill the Renaissance Dam, Egypt would be unable to withstand the water loss. The Nile Delta is already likely to be useless for agriculture in a few decades. Even the most careful filling of the Renaissance Dam would radically speed this up. Of course, Egypt, which always talks down to Sub-Saharan nations, didn't help their case by starting with orders and insults. Ethiopia is slammed for refusing to negotiate in good faith. But Egypt wasn't interested in "good faith" themselves.

The real problem is it can take many years to fill up the dam before it overflows to continue downstream to Egypt.

[@Ahmad_Suhairi]

@@collinsejaife1956 Egypt still has 200 billion cubic meters of storage in Upper Aswan, enough to irrigate Egypt's agriculture and people for 5 years.

​@@thomasdevine867 No body get billion cubic meters of soil per year a virgin soil every years for the last 5000 years In America the farmers doesn't get brand new and every year they farm the same land for the last 300 years the difference is land management if u abuse ur land with chemicals fertilizer they have to switch to natural fertilizer and they will be all right with other water management u suggested

[@thomasdevine867]

@Hikm Suna First, America has truly vast areas of high-quality farm land. Second, US law and regulations promote responsible land use and conservation. The "Dust Bowl" burned many lessons into the American public. The Nile Delta is small compared to American farmlands. Also, the Nile Delta is at a very low elevation compared to American farmlands. Few places in the world are as vulnerable to either erosion or sea level rise as the Nile Delta. The one area of the USA that can be compared in a coherent way to the Nile Delta is the Mississippi Delta. Even if the whole delta washed away, it would hardly have an effect on food availability in the USA. A ten percent loss of Nile Delta farmlands would cause a famine in Egypt.

Well Egypt was enjoying the Nile for so long and it’s our turn now also the source of the nile is in Ethiopia

Egypt is enjoying the Nile within its premises without affecting others! So, you are lying !

Still waiting for Egypt to show the water levels at Aswan. Meanwhile the white Nile is over full all the way back to Lake Victoria

[@thetruth1394]

False information, no fault earth quick near by.

[@harryniedecken5321]

​@@thetruth1394 Are you able to point me to where I can find information on the water levels at Aswan high dam and other locations in Egypt? I cannot find it on line. I agreed 🎉you that during wet years all of the dams should be full as possible. My belief is that the presence of the large lake behind Gerd will result in a lot of rain fall,, even perhaps all year, so it might be that the region has more water.

[@harryniedecken5321]

​@@thetruth1394 It is true that the White Nile is really flooding a lot even with the Gerd holding back water the last years. Sudan and South Sudan news stories were published and they were again begging for money in America. I know that the White Nile is smaller but it still flooded in the city where the two rivers meet last year.

[@harryniedecken5321]

@@mt5661 Thank you for this information. It is really just one leader in Egypt suggesting this to deflect from his own political problems. The prime Minister of Israel goes along to shore up his own political problems, and of course he has bribed all of the politicians in my country ( America) so there is nothing that we can do here.

[@harryniedecken5321]

@@mt5661 I think that the plan is to hold about 70 and of course some will be used but I don't think that is really the main concern. The real concern ultimately is the influence of China. China has a history of building large dams and cutting off the flow of water to India and their participation in this makes people nervous.

You would not mind if somebody claimed your fortune because they want it? Egypt has no colorable claim on resources that originate in another country hundreds of miles away from its borders. Nothing justifies it. And it is a hydroelectric dam. The water has to flow.

this dam has many faulties AND i lies within an area of extreme earthquake region

[@bircruz555]

False! Egyptian propaganda. The dam is not in a seismically active region of the country, and it does not have any identifiable fault. But again, smug Egypt has been unreal, irrational, selfish, and absolutely delusional, invoking "its" colonial treaties with colonial Britain. It is bizarre, ridiculous, and absurd! Ethiopia will not stop for anyone. It only heeds its conscience, and that is sterling. We do not live in the age of colonialism.
