Springer Geography,2194-31689783031786563 3031786564 Introduction and Overview of the Nile Basin -- The Nile Basin and Water Stress -- Rainfed Agriculture and Climate Change in the Nile Basin -- Climate Change and the Nile Basin -- The Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) Site and Ethiopian Ethnic Politics -- Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) Negotiations -- TThe Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) Filling and Operation -- The Hydro-Politics of Green, Blue, Virtual Water and Water Footprint in the Nile Basin -- The Everglades Drainage: A Lesson for Regional Wetlands -- The Sudd Marshes: A Threat to Regional Wetland Drainage.The book follows on from “The Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam on the Blue Nile” GERD. It will have a good background introduction on the Nile basin. The value of Nile water will be presented in view of the global water stress facing mankind and the region. International importance of Nile waters will be presented with food insecurity of regions outside the basin. Food and energy demand in the upper basin and potential upstream irrigation demand on Nile waters will be presented. Analysis of the GERD three years of filling, remaining filling years, and modes of operation will be presented along with the water conflict. Climate change and climate variation (droughts and floods) impacts on the water control of 56 percent of the Nile flow (the Blue Nile and the GERD), and ensuing water war require analysis and publication. One of the major features of the Nile is the Sudd marshes in South Sudan. The importance of wetlands in the hydroclimate of the Nile basin and the merit and demerits of draining the Sudd, to get more water on the short term, will be presented. The Everglades in the United States will be presented as a global experience in regional wetland drainage and its impact on regional hydroclimate.Springer Geography,2194-3168WaterHydrologyEnvironmental managementEnergy policyEnergy policyWater-powerWaterEnvironmental ManagementEnergy Policy, Economics and ManagementHydroenergyWater.Hydrology.Environmental management.Energy policy.Energy policy.Water-power.Water.Environmental Management.Energy Policy, Economics and Management.Hydroenergy.551.48Abtew Wossenuauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut979421MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910983328003321Nile Water Conflict and the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam4317548UNINA
