The Eastern Nile riparian countries Egypt, Ethiopia and Sudan are
currently developing several reservoir projects to contribute to
the needs for energy and food production in the region. The Nile
Basin, particularly the Eastern Nile Sub-basin, is considered one
of a few international river systems with potential conflicts
between riparian countries. In the absence of formal mechanisms for
collaboration, the transboundary nature of this basin makes sound
water resources development challenging. The large seasonal and
inter-annual variability of the river flow exacerbates those
challenges. A further complication is the high sediment load in the
Eastern Nile rivers during the high flow season. This study
contributes to fill relevant knowledge gaps through a better
understanding of the methods needed for a complex system of
multipurpose reservoirs, considering both water quantity and
sediment load. The study quantifies the impacts of water resources
development in the Eastern Nile basin and identifies system
management options at both regional and country level. Developing a
collaborative and unified perspective of the countries towards new
projects can be beneficial for all. New operation rules are
proposed for improving operation of the current system when new
infrastructures are developed and operated either unilaterally or,
ideally, cooperatively.
