Hello everyone, I would like to point out that the passage of the video on the Afghan canal is only a translation of various scientific articles and elements of television news. In no case do I want to convey any bias in this video and I hope that the canal project will be a success and that it will provide food to the Afghan people.

Although you use what appears to be a private KZbin account, I bet you most likely are an agent / hired hand to spin the reality for PR purposes. I can smell the spin from the subtle misrepresentations and the bias of the presentation. What are the misrepresentations? Good! Let’s be objective, if you can handle the truth: 1) The Blue Nile (Abay), which originates mainly from the highlands of Ethiopia contributes NOT 60% (like you misrepresented), but 85% - 86% of the water to the Nile. Up until recently, Sudan & Egypt were using a 1929 colonial treaty and a 1955 treaty that was made between the two countries (Egypt & Sudan) to take all of the Nile’s water: 18% for Sudan and the rest for Egypt, none (0%) for all the other 9 countries along the river. 2) Your presentation made it sound like Ethiopia was the one who did not want to talk. NOT TRUE! Egypt and Sudan were the ones who walked away from the talks protesting the filling of the 3rd phase of the dam filling without a binding treaty. 3) You presented the construction of the dam as … threat to Egypt. First of all, the construction of the dam is built mere 35 km before Abay (the Blue Nile) leaves Ethiopian territory. It’s purpose is primarily to generate electricity. Therefore, the cry about water siphoning is disingenuous. If it were drawn away for irrigation purposes, you might sound like genuinely concerned. But the purpose of the dam is primarily for electric generation. Second, even if Ethiopia wanted to draw water from Abay, it is within its rights to do so. Because, there is no agreement that Ethiopia has signed, which prohibits it from doing so. Your prejudice is vividly laid out when you play stupid about international law that calls for equitable usage of transboundary rivers. In 2011, all the Nile riparian states had come together to talk about equitable usage of the Nile waters. While a majority of the riparian countries signed a memorandum of understanding in agreement of a resolution to utilize the water equitably, Egypt & Sudan walked away from the session. These are the facts. And yes, Ethiopia has justifiably stated that it will not sign a binding treaty with Egypt & Sudan. Because the right place and circumstance to sign a binding treaty for equitable usage of The Nile is after an agreement has been reached among all the riparian nations. Until then, Ethiopia is within its rights to utilize the Abay waters within its borders.

The reporter is highly hypocritical when it comes to the Afghan project. He jumped into criticising the project without even fully introducing it first and he did not take into account what amount of water from the Amu/Oxus river is entitled to use Afghanistan and the fact that historically Iran and Afghanistan's northern neighbours namely Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan and eastern neighbour Pakistan have been enjoying free flow of water (beyond the international norms) for decades due to the wars and instability in Afghanistan. Some of these neighbours have even been actively contributing to the instability in Afghanistan so it cannot build structures like Qosh Tepa and others. Therefore, this report about Afghanistan has been extremely poorly presented and it's not based on independent research.

In regards to Afghanistan Amo river There are several agreements with Soviet Russian from 1921 to 1978 on water management, fishing, and sailing. Soviet Union previously didn’t allow afghans to exercise it Amo river rights and putted pressure on previous governments. And in many cases they have violated those agreements with Afghanistan. After USSR collapsed the central Asian republics inherited those agreements, and not making objections to the matter because the violations of the USSR benefited them for decades and they have continued to do so. They continued to build dams and massive water pumps and canals, though those were obviously violations of previous agreements and damaging to the environment especially to water regime and river banks on Afghan’s side, since 1970 the river has washed minimum of 1200 square kilometers of Afghan side bunks. Because Uzbek side has built dams and walls on their side and pushed flow to Afghan side. Now it is wise to the Afghans neighbors to quietly accept the reality and canal otherwise they will loose a lot more.

Afghanistan has never used its own waters since the creation of Soviet republics such as Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan. Water belongs to Afghanistan Why doesn't Turkmenistan give Afghanistan free gas? Why doesn't Iran give Afghanistan free oil? Pumping gas and oil are also natural resources and create problems for the ecosystem. So our beloved ❤️ country has every right to use its own natural resources 100%, like any other sovereign country's. Афганистан никогда не использовал собственные воды с момента создания советских республик, таких как Узбекистан и Туркменистан. Вода принадлежит Афганистану Почему Туркменистан не дает Афганистану бесплатный газ? Почему Иран не дает Афганистану бесплатную нефть? Перекачивание газа и нефти также являются природными ресурсами и создают проблемы для экосистемы. Так что наша любимая ❤️ страна имеет полное право использовать собственные природные ресурсы на 100%, как и любая другая суверенная страна.

Afghanistan possesses valuable natural resources, including oil ⛽️ and abundant fresh water 💦. Over the years, neighboring countries have benefited from Afghan water resources, while Afghans have paid significant amounts for gas and electricity. During the decades of conflict, some individuals even profited immensely by selling oil, gas, medicines, and food to the poor afghans. Now, it's a pivotal moment for Afghanistan to harness its fresh water for agricultural development and reclaim arid regions. The country's extensive network of rivers, crisscrossing from north to south and east to west, makes this possible. Afghans are poised to utilize their own water resources, and with proper management, they can regain control over this invaluable asset.

[@drpk6514]

Irrigation in the desert is very risky as it brings up salt from the depth to the surface and causes increased salinity. I doubt those who plan these would see this coming. The best crops they could grow there is fruit trees, particularly date fruit, pomegranate, and pistachio. These trees are used to the arid climate and high salinity. Drip irrigation would delay the salinity of the soil too. These crops are very valuable also. Cultivation of wheat and other grains would increase the salinity a lot faster and it won't be sustainable.

The cannals instead of having a plain flat surface like a runway, at each intervals of 21 ft there must be small water arresting check dams running throught the length of the canbal so that at each place water percolates at every 21 ft distance area in addition to slowing down the flow of water if the cannal is designed in a st line. Now a curvy sinosidal wave pattern of cannal can be adopted with provision to rain water to spill off at the crest points so that maximum water infiltration takes place aiding an environment for vegetation growth.

According to sources, there was an agreement signed in 1942 that explained the rights of each country around the Amu Darya. Based on this agreement, Tajikistan gets 64%, Afghanistan 26%, Uzbekistan 8%, and Turkmenistan 2%. However, for the last 70 or more years Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan cumulatively used 42% of the water which indicates over usage of their rights. They even used Tajikistan's part as well. Upon completion of Qosh Tapa Afghanistan will use only 15% of the water coming from Amu Darya meaning that the other countries should start using based on what was agreed. Due to the mismanagement of the Soviet Union in Uzbekistan, the Aral Sea dried up. If Uzbekistan cares about its population and the Aral sea, it should use it within its boundaries and the same goes for Turkmenistan.

Imagine the amount of water that will be wasted through evaporation in the desert🙈🙈🙈🙉🙉 Fact sheet: 85% of the source of the blue Nile water is from Ethiopia.

[@AlaaZakaria-mh6ic]

For comparison, do not be like this. You did not create the river in order to possess it. Rather, it is measured by the fact that Ethiopia has 30 rivers and heavy rains throughout the year that provide it with a thousand billion cubic meters of water annually. It does not need water in the first place because it has a large surplus, while Egypt only has one river to live on. Its share of it is only 55 billion cubic meters annually, which is basically not enough, and Egypt suffers from water poverty. What you are doing is a crime that you are fighting for, and you will be held accountable by everyone before Egypt holds you accountable. But in reality, this is just a media bubble, and Egypt and Ethiopia are in complete agreement, and Ethiopia has already ended the fourth water crisis, and Egypt was not affected by that. It seems that the two countries agree and there is no fundamental disagreement except in the biased media

[@ugazalex]

The Ethiopian government plan is NOT TO INTERRUPT the flow of the Nile River but rather partially store water each year. It would take several years (over 7-8) to completely fill the dam. Make corrections guys.

[@nebiyutesfaye3620]

The interesting thing is Egypt building a mega project by relying on Nile river. This project will fail in future without doubt if it depends 100% on Nile. The reason is Egypt contribute 0% to Nile river. That means they should not think that Nile will flows in the same amount and the same direction towards Egypt. There 9 other countries who share Nike water, once all of them starts irrigating, building dam,etc definitely the amount water will decrease.
