Ethiopia has said it will start filling the reservoir behind the dam in 2020, though construction has been hit by delays. Other countries were not given allocations at that time. Ethiopia was not party to the agreement and does not recognize it.Egypt, which has a rapidly growing population nearing 100 million, relies on the Nile for around 90% of its fresh water.
While acknowledging such a scenario is unlikely, Egypt says it could lose more than one million jobs and $1.8 billion in economic production annually. It says it is taking the interests of Egypt and Sudan - the other downstream nation - into account, and that Egypt’s requirement of a guaranteed 40 bcm is unrealistic.
