This book presents the current conflict in the Middle East and
North Africa over the construction of the Grand Ethiopian
Renaissance Dam (GERD), the biggest in Africa. The project explains
why economic, and to some extent political, survival is at the core
of the conflict, specifically between Egypt and Ethiopia. Although
the problem started with insistence of "no dam" by Egypt and
subsequently narrowed down to a filling up period of the reservoir
and technical operations of the dam, finding a solution agreeable
to both nations has been elusive for the past eight years. Ensuring
water for all members in the Basin is consistent with the United
Nations Sustainable Development Goal 6, particularly given the
looming effects of climate change, increasing population,
urbanization, and rising consumptive water uses.
