Dams Could Spur Flooding
Former Irrigation Minister Mohamed Nasr El-Din Allam warned that Ethiopian dams could cause water shortages in Egypt and Sudan if water were held back when the two countries needed it, or flooding and damage if large volumes were released at unsuitable times. He noted that the existing Ethiopian dam holds around 60 to 70 billion cubic metres of water, and that uncertainty over when water is stored and released increases the risks. He called for Egypt, Sudan and Ethiopia to coordinate on managing and operating the dams in a way that supports development and electricity generation in Ethiopia while safeguarding the water security of the downstream countries.
