Ethiopia says is cooperating with his neighbors over how quickly to fill this grand renee stones dan reservoir a Foreign Ministry spokesman also reiterated that ethiopia rejects any binding agreements. Technically to. Take nuclear we could have filled the dam in 3 years especially during the seasons of heavy rains but we cancelled this 3 year period in response to the concerns of the downstream countries we agreed to fill the dam in 4 to 7 years now they started with new demands for sitting near new quotas and they also added binding agreements the matters that we agree about should be general and non binding agreements and we negotiate them according to their importance. In africa which is a lifeline for tens of thousands of fisherman farmers and their families in sudan its known as the lake in neighboring egypt like forms the manmade reservoir for the as one town but water levels from and another in ethiopia have many worried about their livelihoods if it has their story. Just after sunrise every day hussein jaffer and his crews are there both engine and their days work fishing has been his livelihood for nearly 20 years catching tiger fish and wiring from lake new pia helps feed his family of 7 but the fish have been increasingly difficult to find for the past 3 years. Several have this like is what feeds us me and hundreds of other fisherman when the water rises it becomes very hard to catch fish because theyre not concentrated in the like theres more water for them and the like has been increasing the gates of the high dam havent been opened leaking o. B. L. Was manmade 50 years ago by filling the reservoir of egypts high dam on the river nile 80 percent of the water is in egypt and its known there as lake now thay are named after the former president 20 percent of the lake is in sudans territory and thousands of family rely on it theyre concerned about the lakes future and also whats happening in neighboring ethiopia where africas largest hydroelectric dam is nearing completion. The lake here relies on 2 sources the water flowing in from them in the south and the amount of water released by the egyptian aswan high dam in the north there is a for everything has the capacity to hold more than the water of the blue nile the main contributor to the nile now when if youre just not feeling it them whats the level downstream will reduce and when egypt opens the gates of its high dam the size of this lake will diminish significantly so the nice people here say the gates of the high dam havent been opened for 3 years thats preserving as much water as possible in the league while negotiations over how if you will operates continue while fishermen say less water is better for them those relying on the lake for other reasons such as farming have a different view. Before we used to need 3 or 4 and looked like water pumps to be able to get water from the light to our farms and we use only one i have lanes that have been flooded by water but we keep expanding our farms so an increase means more water for us in a retreat in the like means more fertile land becomes available but we may face challenges in getting it irrigated the lake is also facing another threat Climate Change. Weve seen changes in the lake and areas around it already some parts of dried up due to Climate Change and there are now fertile lands for farming but there are parts where the water from the reservoir floods farm lands that already exist and destroys the crops of farmers so there needs to be an understanding between farmers on the southern part of the reservoir and the authorities controlling the dam so that it ends up a win win situation for all a situation that can guarantee that the livelihoods of those relying on the lake isnt disrupted both in sudan and neighboring egypt more going on to their own northern sudan.
