Sudan Engineers Overcome the Hurdles of Conflict on GERD By Saeed M. Adnan

Some tSudnaese trumpeteers for Egypt, immediatley started crying 'wolf' when the water level of the Blue Nile started dropping from the level of the same period last year. Most pronounced and ignorantly offenssive was Al Hindi Izzel Din's essay in the web magazine Al Mijar Al Siyassi, where he made claims that drop in river level, as had been destined to, on holding rain water in GERD, already started depriving Sudan of drinking water. He claimed the drop had already reached 90 million C.M. His simplistic calculus never touched on the reality which is as below:
The average annual inflow flow of the Blue Nile and its tributaries from Ethiopia to Sudan is estimated at 52 600 million m³. The daily flow fluctuates between 10 million m³ in April to 500 million m³ in August (ratio of 1:50).
so if we assume the flow in July is somewhere near 300 million m³, and July has not finished yet, then the 90 million m³ would not affect a surging daily flow of 300 m³, too diverse from the average of 10 million m³ flow outside the floods. This exactly translates the good purpose of GERD to start filling up from the floods of the rainy season.
