I missed this. Wow!

This, in addition to the under construction Gibe 3 dam.......

The Gilgel Gibe III Dam is an under construction 243 m high roller-compacted concrete dam with an associated hydroelectric power plant on the Omo river in Ethiopia.
Once completed it would be the largest hydroelectric plant
in Africa with a power output of about 1870 Megawatts (MW), thus more than doubling total installed capacity in Ethiopia from its
2007 level of 814 MW. [1][2]
The Gibe III dam would be
part of the Gibe cascade, a
series of dams including the existing Gibe I dam (184 MW) and Gibe II power station
(420 MW) as well as the
planned Gibe IV (1472 MW)
and Gibe V (560 MW) dams.
The existing dams are owned and operated by the state-owned Ethiopian Electric Power Corporation, which is
also the client for the Gibe III Hydroelectric dam.
As of February 2011,
according to the project
company the project was 41% completed and the
completion of the dam was tentatively scheduled for July 2013. Full commissioning is
scheduled for June 2013 after the reservoir will have filled and the hydroelectric plant
will have been completed.

I would think terrain n amount of water in our rivers.

Mvua ya Ethiopia ni deadly, we dont get as much rain as they do the place floods like nothing else. So the dam was very vital. I wonder tho if the construction will halt the flowing of waters into L.Turkana. Dr. Leakey was fighting against it.

The location of this dam is very far away from turkana-kenya border, turkana is on the upper side hence It can't be affected...the people who should be crying are the Egyptians
