I missed this. Wow!

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Ethiopian_Renaissance_Dam

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

How come they are allowed to do so, excuse my ignorance coz I heard about the Nile treaty which I think prohibits the exploitation of the Nile waters? There was a time there were negotiations of the same ama they were renegotiated???

Please free your mind from the colonist. Don't you find it amazing that Kisumu, being on the shores of one of the largest fresh water lakes in the world has perennial water shortages?

In other words, they give us sweets

Food for thought:

After completion, the Renaissance Dam is set to supply 6,000 MW. That's approximately six times Kenya's current capacity!

A round of to the Ethiopians!

Please refrain from commenting without knowledge. This dam is on river Omo which supplies Lake Turkana with 90% of the inflow while the remaining 10% is from turkwell which also has a dam.

This doesn't affect the blue Nile. Tinker please Think before you comment/ write or let your finger do the walking.
