The Nile basin is a microcosm of Africa. The Nile water flowing from south to north, originating from sub-Saharan Africa and flowing into the coasts of the Mediterranean, integrates a range of African climates and sustains a group of nations representative of African diversity. The water of the Nile has been the main resource supporting the rich civilizations that flourished along its banks for millennia. This book presents and discusses a pathway forward for sustainable future development in the Nile basin. We identify population growth, climate change, and adoption of agricultural technology as the main processes that will define the future of the Nile basin, and then propose ways for effective management of these processes in order for future economic development to succeed. Success in the Nile basin is likely to offer a prototype for success elsewhere in Africa.

Ethiopians had to wait over a thousand years to be able to use their waters for their own development. Ethiopian emperors and leaders have tried to build a dam on the Nile River as part of their development efforts. Unfortunately, due to varying reasons and circumstances, including external pressure from countries near and far, geo- and hydro-political balance shifts, and internal conflicts, they were not successful in realizing their wishes. Instead of giving up, though, each leader contributed to different extents, by laying the foundation for and addressing challenges faced in making this dream a reality. The masterplan for the dam designed in 1964 has been the seed in waiting ever since, waiting for the right opportunity to arise for construction to start. Following the decade long negotiation and an agreement on the equitable use of the Nile waters by most Nile riparian countries, and the subsequent Cooperative Framework Agreement, the Ethiopian government started the construction of the GERD in 2011. The waiting had finally ended ... It was time for the seed to grow. Twelve years later, the construction program is almost done. The reservoir already holds billions of cubic meters of water, and the country has produced power from the first two turbines as part of the early power generation milestone. The seed has sprouted, and the tree is on track to be the tallest in Africa. In this six-part book, Dereje Befekadu Tessema discusses events that started thousands of years ago, culminating in the construction of the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD). He also shares a recount of his trip from the sources to the mouth of the Nile River.

"Water Scarcity Diplomacy" delves into the intricate and often contentious diplomatic interactions centered around one of the world's most iconic waterways: the Nile River. As an essential life source for over a dozen nations, the Nile has become a focal point of cooperation, competition, and sometimes conflict, especially as the specter of water scarcity looms larger with each passing year. Key facets of the book include: Historical Significance: Tracing the Nile's role as a lifeline for ancient civilizations to its continued importance in the modern era. Upstream-Downstream Dynamics: Exploration of the differing priorities and challenges faced by upstream and downstream nations, from water storage to agricultural demands. The Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD): A deep dive into one of the most significant recent developments, its implications for regional hydro-politics, and the mediation efforts surrounding it. Legal Frameworks: Examination of historical treaties, current agreements, and potential avenues for future legal consensus among Nile basin countries. Climate Change Implications: Discussion on the exacerbating effects of climate change on water scarcity, potential disputes, and the imperative for cooperative mitigation strategies. Case Studies: In-depth analyses of individual nations within the Nile basin, shedding light on their specific challenges, strategies, and stakes in the water diplomacy arena. The Path Forward: Suggestions and strategies for fostering collaboration, building trust, and ensuring that the shared resources of the Nile are equitably and sustainably managed for the benefit of all basin countries. Merging historical context with current events and future projections, "Water Scarcity Diplomacy" offers readers a holistic understanding of the multifaceted dynamics at play in the Nile River Basin. This book is indispensable for students of international relations, environmental scientists, policymakers, and anyone interested in the delicate balance of diplomacy and resource management in one of the world's most critical river basins.
