A Webinar  titled: “Nile Water Rights” was organized on Tuesday, December 8, 2020 to ​tackle the water rights of the Nile riparian states and the current issue of the filling of the GERD. This event hosted speakers from various institutes and universities.


Demand for freshwater water has been drastically increasing in the last decades worldwide. In fact, climate change, population growth, as well as growing economies are the main reasons behind this increased demand that is putting at risk the most valued resource for human life. The waters of the Nile are not any different. For decades, the Nile riparian states shared their water based on a series of agreements dating back to colonial times. Most recently, the construction and the filling of the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) has led to a diplomatic dispute involving Egypt, Ethiopia, and Sudan.
This Webinar tackled the water rights of the Nile riparian states and the current issue of the filling of the GERD.
