Downside is forcing ethopia to keep releasing water or threaten to bomb their dam...

2:50 If the Renaissance Dam in Ethiopia collapsed, how is a diversion below the Aswan dam going to divert the flood water? The Roseires Dam in Sudan comes first. Then there is the Sennar Dam and Merowe Dam in Sudan before the water hits the Aswan Dam in Egypt. The diversion starts its way in Ezbet Sherif further downstream past Caïro. It looks more like an inlet. Caïro sits higher up the river, therefore is a diversion downstream of it meaningless as flood protection. FYI An artificial river is called a canal.

Go to Google Earth and search for Tushka lakes, you will be surprised. In case of high floods, the excess water is diverted through a canal located to the south of the High Dam. This canal transports the water to a network of irrigation canals to irrigate hundreds of thousands of hectares. This main artificial canal also allows excess water to flow and fill a series of interconnected depressions in the Western Desert of Egypt. These lakes are the safety net for Egypt during high floods. Maintaining the irrigation canals and the mainstream of the River Nile along with the new irrigation canals of this megaproject (called the New Delta Project) serve to increase their capacity to receive more water in case of a dangerously high flood.

i remember a water shortage on the Nile already some 30 or more years ago. I was on vacation and the journey back to Cairo was on river ships. But the Ministry of Agriculture refused to release more war into the Nile because it was needed to water the fields. And definitely not for about 20 Tourist ships. We were lucky, we travelled on a smaller older ship. With an old, wise Captain. He turned the ship around and was more or less - digging - through all the silt and muck. While the bigger and more modern ships had to wait a whole week to get more water under the keel. ( being a Chef) I felt only sorry for the head chef and his kitchen crew. They after all had to feed some 200 passengers on each ship for a whole week extra. Suppose after the Chefs was through, every local food shop and market stall must have been empty!

I watched another video that described it better and even then coming to this video with a good visual understanding I realize this video obscured the understanding I had. My understanding is this river flows from near the Red Sea in opposite direction as Nile. If connected to Nile it would form a loop. At that point presently all the waste water from Egypt flows into the sea. This project will capture rather than discard the water and divert through waste water treatment then onto a large swath of agricultural land. I’m unclear on how it mitigates Nile overflows

I don't see the point. Evaporation is usually just what you want in the desert, to create humidity for plants. Whatever doesn't evaporate will flow into the Mediterranean. Do you want to protect the Mediterranean from getting too salty? I expect that part of what makes this project relatively cheap is that they needn't fully prevent the water from disappearing into the ground, just limit it. The water that does go into the ground probably just replenishes the ground water. There is probably no big risk of it creating swamps in that area.

This river might be also covered by solar panels to harvest electricity, which is much effective in the dessert and in such way it will save huge amount of land. And it also will reduce the water evaporation. Great job Egypt! With huge respect and support from Israel.

Good luck to Egypt, sounds a great idea.

Egypt is going to result the same as the Colorado River and the Hoover Dam. Creating 127 km's of open canals for water to pass without covering them only provides a ton of surface area from which evaporation can take place. Just look at the water levels above the Hoover dam and I'll bet there is more precipitation there than there is in the Sahara even if it's only 1 or 2 mm per year !

Amazing great idea.

If this Egyptian mega project is successfully implemented without any problems disrupting its smoothness, I believe Egypt can accelerate its economic progress by a long and efficient leap at the same time Egypt can overcome its relatively static economy and low currency value for decades.

Absolutely amazing!

Hmm, I'm really skeptical about this project - they will be relying only on water treatment plant as a source of water (water from Nile river won't be used). First - will it be enough to cover needs of agriculture, power plants, etc.? Second - this is open canal in the desert - the evaporation rate will be massive. Third - they are talking about underground wells, will they also use them as a source of water? This is limited resource.

Now that is a smart thing to do to get ahead of world plight and famine probabilities.

It destroys the downstream countries of Egypt and Sudan The filling will take place over a long period so that a severe shortage of Nile water does not occur in the downstream countries.
