I hope the Ethiopians didn’t get any help from the Chinese to build this dam.

Suspect that the Chinese are managing the operation of that dam and those resevoirs will fill. The Chinese no doubt are ready to capitalize on new irrigated agricultural lands in Ethiopia to grow grain and cotton.

It's a dirty looking river, that's for sure. :^) There are some YouTube vids of people taking wildwater rafting trips down the Blue Nile in Ethiopia, pretty sure I wouldn't do it.

Looks to be a truly grand reservoir, for sure.

The Ethiopians had better have good air defenses around the dam. Because, given the importance of the Nile’s water flow to the country’s agricultural sector, I see the Egyptians doing something like this:

[Agriculture is a major component of the Egyptian economy, contributing 14.5 percent of the country’s gross domestic product. The agricultural sector accounts for 28 percent of all jobs, and over 55 percent of employment in Upper Egypt is agriculture-related.]

The water rights to the Colorado River are quite complicated, but somehow Colorado, Utah, Nevada, Arizona, and California despite all of the dams get enough for now.
If we get another 50- or 100-year drought then we could be seeing similar antagonisms here in the States.

Heard somewhere that FettGub also thinks it owns the Colorado River. As do a couple Indian tribes, I think.

The amount of sediment delivered by the annaul flood will take some period of time to fill the reservoir, I wonder how long it will take?.

According to a non-excerpted part of the article, Sudan claims a marked decrease in the flow of the Blue Nile.

Egypt has 100 million people, with 90% (or more) of them relying on the Nile. They won’t exist anymore if the Nile is cut off...so Ethiopia needs to be very, very, careful.
