Energy trades could help resolve Nile conflict

Scientists have shed light on a new, transformative approach that could help resolve a dispute over the Nile river's water resources.

But as the demand for energy, water, and food in Africa is steadily increasing, the study, led by The University of Manchester in collaboration with regional organisations, offers a glimmer of hope at a resolution., moves away from traditional water-centric agreements, and presents a detailed simulation of the combined energy-water system to reveal how different scenarios of international energy trades could help alleviate the Nile water conflict.

At the heart of the dispute lies the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam -- a large dam on the Blue Nile River in Ethiopia constructed to improve Ethiopia's electricity access and to export electricity to neighbouring countries. The project sparked tensions between Ethiopia, Sudan and Egypt over water rights and access.

Corresponding author Professor Julien Harou from The University of Manchester, said:"The energy trades tested in this study provide the countries a range of solutions that are likely in their national interest.
