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. 410 0$aSpringer Geography,$x2194-3168 606 $aWater 606 $aHydrology 606 $aEnvironmental management 606 $aEnergy policy 606 $aEnergy policy 606 $aWater-power 606 $aWater 606 $aEnvironmental Management 606 $aEnergy Policy, Economics and Management 606 $aHydroenergy 615 0$aWater. 615 0$aHydrology. 615 0$aEnvironmental management. 615 0$aEnergy policy. 615 0$aEnergy policy. 615 0$aWater-power. 615 14$aWater. 615 24$aEnvironmental Management. 615 24$aEnergy Policy, Economics and Management. 615 24$aHydroenergy. 676 $a551.48 700 $aAbtew$b Wossenu$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0979421 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910983328003321 996 $aNile Water Conflict and the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam$94317548 997 $aUNINA
