The Grand Renaissance Dam, which Ethiopia is building, has caused a row between Egypt and Ethiopia, with Sudan caught in between, which some fear could lead to war, and the U.S.A is now helping to mediate.
About:
Name: The Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam, sometimes referred to as Hidase Dam was formerly known as the Millennium Dam.
Location: It is an under-construction gravity dam on the Blue Nile River in Ethiopia, about 15 km east of the border with Sudan.
Size: At 6.45 gigawatts, the dam will be the largest hydroelectric power plant in Africa when completed, as well as the seventh largest in the world.
Dispute: Egypt, located over 2500 kms downstream of the site, opposes the dam, which it believes will reduce the amount of water available from the Nile.
