Risks from Ethiopian Dams
Former Irrigation Minister Mohamed Nasr El-Din Allam warned that Ethiopian dams could cause water shortages in Egypt and Sudan if water is held back when the two countries need it, or flooding and damage if large volumes are released at the wrong time. He noted that the existing Ethiopian dam holds around 60 to 70 billion cubic metres, and that uncertainty over when water will be stored or released increases the risks, despite the High Dam’s ability to protect Egypt when Nile flows are low. He called for coordination among the three countries to manage the dams in a way that supports Ethiopia’s development goals while safeguarding the water security of the downstream countries.
