Now when someone asks me how big London is I can say it’s roughly the same size of the reservoir behind the grand Ethiopian renaissance dam, handy.
-
"So large it has its own classification." I can't be the only person who expected them to call it a "God-dam." It was a huge, approximately London-size letdown when they just called it a "mega-dam."
-
Next level the nile war loading....
-
The same happen to mekong river,got dry out in the dry season.massive china dam blocked 50% the water flow down
-
As an African viewer, it's really cool to see you cover this. I was in Addis, the capital in 2021, spent a day exploring it on their new metro system and was blown away by the massive infrastructure developments in the city.
-
I hope this project goes well and all parties can come to agreement. It would be terrible to see such an impressively scaled infrastructure project lead to conflict.
-
I hope africa can flourish economically soon
-
Massive Tree planting needs to be undertaking in the Nile basin region to avert catastrophe should a drought hit.
-
So not the dam, but the reservoir is the “size of London”.
-
Would have been interesting to hear if there are any ecological consequences to such an enormous dam on one of the world's most important rivers.
-
There are already several dams along the Nile the rate of fill is the primary contention of those downstream. Egypt has threatened to “remove” the obstacle to river flow if their water supply is disrupted……
-
As far as I know it, Egypt and Sudan made a deal and split all the water rights between themselves, without even considering Ethiopia and their needs. They are getting what they deserved.
-
From Nigeria's biggest oil refinery in all of Africa to Ethiopia's biggest dam in all of Africa... Keep it up Africa. Greetings from Nigeria to our Ethiopian brothers💚❤. Keep up the good work. Lets continue to develop.
-
If this dam does what it COULD do for the people of Ethiopia, and thus that entire region of Africa, it WILL be a miracle. I hope they can figure out how to do this peacefully with Egypt.
-
I think this video left out some context. Before Ethiopia starting working on this dam, Egypt had the largest dam on the nile (the Aswan Dam) whoch controlled the flow of the Nile. Now they are fearful that Ethiopia will do the same with it's dam. I hope that both sides will resolve the dispute peacefully and that both countries will benefit from this somehow.
-
As a half Egyptian half Ethiopian person the conflict is quite intense. Hope it can all be resolved in a peaceful manner.
-
When you revisit this at it's completion, I'd wager It'll look more like a fortress, festooned with Surface to Air missile batteries and guard towers.
-
4:39 - If 85% of your water - or anything else - comes from a single source, you need to develop backups regardless of anything else. Desalination is a viable alternative throughout the middle east and it would behoove Egypt to take advantage of its massive coastline to look into that.
-
For update information, Fourth round of filling was done .
