Ethiopia completes third filling of Blue Nile mega-dam reservoir

The Nile – which at some 6,000km is one of the longest rivers in the world – is an essential source of water and electricity for dozens of countries in East Africa.

The Nile Basin river system flows through 11 countries. The Blue Nile and White Nile merge in Sudan before flowing into Egypt and onto the Mediterranean Sea. Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi warned Ethiopia earlier last year that his government would not tolerate any moves that would reduce Egypt’s share of water from the Nile.

Sudan hoped the project would regulate annual flooding but fears its dams would be harmed without agreement on the Ethiopian dam operation. The 145-metre high GERD straddles the Blue Nile in the Benishangul-Gumuz region of western Ethiopia, near the border with Sudan.
