The Nile Conflict

Conflict over the Nile

The Nile has a total of 74 million cubic meter of water.The river nile flows though a total of 11 countrys who are named Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Congo-Kinshasa, Kenya, Ethiopia, Eritrea, South Sudan, Sudan and Egypt.Around 109 million citizen live are settled near the river nile.Ethopia builded that dam because of financial proplems and also economical proplems.I´m also going to talk about the water stress in africa and the effect of the ecosystem behind the dam.Egybt is located in the north of africa.

The conflict over the nile is a common proplem that is known across the nile as the Ethopia and Egybt war. Ethopia and egybt are arguing over  a big dam which is  getting created by Ethopia and it is one of the biggest dams in the world called the Grand Millennium Dam. It has the cost of around 6.4 billion €. .The whole project spares about  1,800 sq km.There are about 3,500 workers working day and night.

If Ehtopia is going to succesfully build that dam 85 million egybtians  would affect that.The dam will produce about 6,000 mege watt per day. There was a lot of protest against buildings this dam but ethopia claims they need to secure themself with building this dam so they can manover themself out over poverty and crime (Nile River Dam Threatens) (Will Ethiopian Dam Dry Up The Nile. There are many effects on building a dam on such a great river like nile.The ecosystem behind the dam will have a loss of fish and other living organism like algues and seewheat from the dam

Millions of people rely on the river nile.Only in egybt 85 million rely on it.If ethopia is going to succesfully build the dam it will be crucial for the rest of the population living behind the dam
