A recent investigation conducted by an Egyptian research team on the incidence of current conflicts between the nations involved in the Renaissance Dam file uncovered new information that refutes the most recent Ethiopian claims regarding the location.
According to a research published in the Global Water Journal with the working title “Evaluating the Ethiopian Renaissance Dam utilising a remote sensing and geographic information systems,” the dam’s initial storage began in July 2020 and amounted to approximately 5 billion m3.
The third public, which occurred from July 11 to August 11, was around 9 billion m3, bringing the total to 17 billion cubic metres, she added. The second public, which occurred in July 2021, reached roughly 3 billion mm.
Ethiopia reported that the second storage was finished on July 18, 2021, to reach 18, which goes against the study’s findings.
5 billion m3 while the storage amount was 8 billion m3, and the third storage arriving this year claimed 22 billion m3, and the fact that it reached 17 billion M3.
The Egyptian analyst Abbas Sharqi commented on this in an interview with “Al Arabiya.
net” that after every storage of water in the dam, a temporary increase occurs as a result of the flow of flooding in the middle path and his inability to pass the flood completely, until he returns again to the level of 604 meters Total area above the sea is 19.5 billion cubic metres.
The decline, he continued, was scheduled to begin at the beginning of October, but this has not yet occurred. He noted that this will occur in the upcoming weeks, returning to 17 billion m3 once more at the level of 600 m with the low rate of rain that lasted for roughly 20% of September and October.
He emphasised that more than 11 years had passed since the dam’s construction in stages that began with storage and minimal electricity generation before the turbines stopped operating days later. As a result, there is no discernible advantage from the project.
The Egyptian expert revealed that the heavy rains are still flowing in some regions of Sudan around the Al -Roseris Dam, and the extension of the Blue Nile and Qadarf, expecting to rise the level of the Nile in Egypt during the next few days.
In addition, he issued a flood warning for the country’s riverlands.
It is noteworthy that the Ethiopian authorities announced last August the end of the third filling of the Renaissance Dam, storing amounts of up to 22 billion cubic meters and passing water across the Middle East.
The dam’s level has reportedly reached 600 metres, according to Ethiopia’s Prime Minister Abi Ahmed, who also said that his nation would sell electricity to its neighbours in order to promote shared growth.
However, the dam dispute is still causing friction between Egypt, Sudan, and Ethiopia since Addis Abeba accused the person of filling and storing water without consulting the estuary states and against their objections.
1.7 trillion. Ethiopian statements are in conflict with an Egyptian research on the Renaissance Dam.
