It is not known exactly to what extent dams in Ethiopia would reduce the flow of water to Sudan and Ethiopia. Assuming an evaporation rate of 1 meter per year, an irrigated area of 200,000 hectares and a combined reservoir area of 1,000 km2, the flow of the Nile could be reduced by 3 billion cubic meters per year, equivalent to about 5 percent ...

The Gilgel Gibe III Dam is 610 m-long (2,000 ft) and 243 m (797 ft) high roller-compacted concrete dam. It withholds a reservoir with a capacity of 14.7 km 3 (3.5 cu mi) and a surface area of 210 km 2 (81 sq mi), collecting with a catchment area of 34,150 km 2 (13,190 sq mi).
Ethiopia sees the dam as essential to its development but downstream Egypt — the Arab world’s most populous country — fears it will restrict its share of the Nile water, critical for its ...
The dam was Ethiopia's largest public works project. [2] The dam helped to reduce power shortages as Ethiopia's power demand increases. At the time of its completion, the 188 metres (617 ft) Tekezé Dam was Africa's largest double-curvature arch dam. [3] The resulting reservoir is 105 km 2 large and it has a capacity of 9.3 billion m 3 of water ...
