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 dam is 1,700 m (5,600 ft) long and 40 m (130 ft) tall. Construction on the dam began in 1988 but work was halted in 1994. In 1995 construction restarted with a new construction firm. The power station was commissioned in 2004. [2] Water from the dam is diverted through a 9.2 km (5.7 mi) long tunnel to an underground power station downstream.
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 ...
