Sudan faces Nile decline and famine risks
The Sudanese Ministry of Agriculture and Irrigation reported that the water levels of the Nile River experienced a temporary decline due to a reduction in the discharge from Ethiopia's Renaissance Dam and the impact of water pumping operations in Khartoum. The inflow to Lake Rusriras Reservoir decreased by 76 million cubic meters, from 207 million to 129 million cubic meters between July 7 and 9. This led to a decrease in water flows behind the reservoirs and a drop in the levels of several main stations, ranging from 54 centimeters to 1.70 meters. The ministry confirmed that fluctuations in the river's water levels have become part of the ongoing water system, and technical monitoring continues to ensure the stability of water resources. These developments occur amid ongoing disagreements with Ethiopia over the management and operation of the Renaissance Dam, which was completed in July 2025 and raises concerns about its potential impacts on water flows to downstream countries, Sudan and Egypt.
