The mega dam in Jinja was meant to give Uganda energy independence, but this was constrained by Britain’s agricultural interests in Egypt.
The dam has helped to shift longstanding power relationships and could pave the way for more cooperation among all the countries that depend on the Nile.
Communicating scientific findings is a potential route to reach common ground and avoid political tensions in the Nile region
Treaties are needed to govern water resource allocation in the Nile basin region. For this to happen it’s critical to have accurate data on how much water there is.
An historical perspective on the politics, dominance and conflicts over the dams on the Nile is useful.
Egypt wants a guarantee that the filling and operation of the Renaissance Dam will not affect the rights it got in 1959.
Instead of allocating the Nile waters based on a fixed, perpetual water supply Ethiopia, Sudan, and Egypt must consider changes in weather patterns, among other factors.

There’s almost no place on earth that doesn’t hold traces of humanity. But which routes did our ancestors follow first?
The threat to use force to defend Egypt’s right to water from the Nile has been a common theme through successive governments.
