محاولة لفهم أزمة النيل

لم يتطلب الأمر أكثر من ساعة للوصول الى المعلومات أعلاه ، والتي تشكل البيانات الاساسية ، بدون المؤشرات الهندسية والعلمية التي قد تقود القراء الى التيه والتخبط والشك ، ومن ثم العداء
بالتأكيد أن أي نهر في أي مكان يحتاج الى حد مائي أدني من المياة لكي يستمر ولا يجف ، وبالتالي يمكن باستمرار الاستفادة منه ليس فقط في الزراعة ولكن كذلك في النقل والمواصلات والصناعة وغيرها ، ويمكن القول بأن المستويات الحالية لنهر النيل عند نقاطه الأساسية تمثل الحد المائي الأدني لبقاؤه واستمراريته
والنقاط الأساسية لقياسات وجمع بيانات نهر النيل هي أربع
- محطة الديم أعلى سد الروصيرص عند حدود السودان وأثيوبيا ، وتعتبر مقياس الايرادات المائية من النيل الأزرق أو سد النهضة
- محطة مونجولا الى الشمال من مدينة جوبا عاصمة جنوب السودان ، وهي فم قناة جونجلي التي توقف العمل بها في 1983
- محطة المقرن أو الخرطوم التي تقيس ايرادات المياة من النيل الأبيض
- محطة أسوان ، والتي تمثل ايرادات النيل عند السد العالي في مصر
وتشير البيانات الى حجم الايرادات المائية عند كل من هذه المحطات
كذلك تشير الى الاستهلاك المائي في كل من البلاد الثلاث - برغم أن أثيوبيا ليست طرفاً في إدارة مياة النيل ، والفاقد من المياة بالتبخير أو التصريف الطبيعي أو الحد المائي الأدني ، وفق أعلاه
ويمكن تلخيص التناقضات في التالي
- مايصل الى 35% من الايرادات المائية عند أسوان لا يمكن حجزها وتذهب الى البحر الابيض المتوسط ، حيث تشكل الحد المائي الأدنى
- الفاقد بالتبخير يصعب التحكم فيه حيث الظروف الجغرافية والمناخية هي ما يصنعه ولا توجد حلول له
- ما يتبقى لمصر يشكل 55 مليار متر مكعب سنوياً ، ورغم أنه يتناسب مع اتفاقية مياة النيل ، إلا أنه لا يفي باحتياجات مصر المستقبلية
- يتوقع أن يؤدي سد النهضة الى تقليل الايرادات المائية عند الروصيرص خلال أعمال ملء الخزان ، وبالتالي عند أسوان ، ولكنه لن يؤثر فعلاً على الإيرادات أو يقفل توريد المياة الى مصر مستقبلاً. إنه سد لتوليد الكهرباء وليس للري
لذا فان الخلاف يتمحور حول وجهات نظر فنية وقانونية متداخلة
- تسعى مصر لتأمين الاحتياجات المتزايدة من المياة ، وبرغم ان استكمال قناة جونجلي سوف يزيد الايرادات عند أسوان بحوالي 7% ، فانها غير كافية على المدى البعيد ، ولذا تحاول مصر سن تخطيط مستقبلي يعتمد على التحكم الأشمل في مياة النيل ، وبرغم أن أثيوبيا ليست طرفاً في اتفاقية مياة النيل التي تقسم الـ 74 مليار متر مكعب بين السودان ومصر فقط ، والاتفاقية بين بريطانيا والامبراطور منليك لم تتعدى تبادل المعلومات قبل الشروع في أي منشأت تؤثر على ايرادات النيل المائية.
- لدى أثيوبيا نظرة سيادية ، وتقوم على أن تصرفاتها لن تؤثر بشكل مستدام على مياة النيل سوى في فترات ملء الخزان ، وحيث ن الزراعة في أثيوبيا تعتمد على الامطار بنحو 80% ، وعدا هذا فان الايرادات المائية عند محطة الروصيرص لن تتأثر ، هذا فضلا عن ان احتياجاتها للكهرباء (7 جيجابيت) سوف تشكل استراتيجية تنموية لا بديل لها ، هكذا تريد أثيوبيا من مصر والسودان التحلي بالصبر لحين ملء الخزان وعودة الايرادات المائية الى معدلاتها الطبيعية

Nile Dams
In Today's world, where media-echo-political mistrust, Complex geopolitical concerns and anxious economic lobbies; bilateral relations are threatened by complex development projects; which are literally national and local.. The GERD is an example that became emotional, hostile and dangerous; while some falcons in all sides are rising war banners.. Certainly, no war will be launched by any party, and nor a reconciliation as well.. What's expected to happen during the coming months, after 2nd fill of GERD, is media wars and disrupted economic, political and diplomatic stand off.. Later, there will be a scheduled unlocking of the waters; which will force all the parties to seriously negotiate and compromise..
This histogram of the Nile water control is useful..
How the Imperial past set the Stage for Nile Dam Conflicts between Egypt, Sudan and Ethiopia
By Mahemud Tekuya | –
Ever since construction began a decade ago, there’s been serious contention between Ethiopia, Egypt and Sudan over the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD), a huge project straddling the Blue Nile in Ethiopia.
For Ethiopia, the project is meant to offer a solution to its severe power problem, providing electricity access for an estimated 65 million Ethiopians. Ethiopia also says its neighbours will benefit from cheap energy exports.
Egypt relies on the Blue Nile for freshwater, and maintains that the dam represents an existential threat.
For its part, Sudan has had to balance its own concerns about water supply with the dam’s promise of cheap power and flood control. Recently it appears that Sudan has firmed up on its opposition to the Dam.
For my doctoral thesis, I am studying the geopolitical realities on the governance of the Nile’s resources. This isn’t the first time that relations in the region have been strained by dam politics – its history is a long one and the tensions felt today are rooted in the imperial past.

Ethiopia’s Renaissance Dam
I’m not fan of Morsi or MB, but an intellectual opponent for stupidity and injustice.. Yet, their regime had acknowledged unable to sustain a long-historical wrong stand and policies..!!
Most people with pens and voices in Egypt has no clue about the history of the 1929 Nile-Treaty.. They only recall times of “Bully” Politicians and Generals, who became outdated.. The world of today is built on mutual interests, rights and obligations.. The Treaty allowed Egypt to use 58% of Nile waters for noting but been a strong colonial state.. Egyptian water monitoring stations are in Sudan and Uganda, while its diplomatic staff are securing these unfair distribution rights by all means of mightiness..
Apparent situations are not always righteous ones.. Everyone has the right to live and grow.. No one is responsible that Egypt had mistakenly lived on unfair justification for such long time.. It is a failure for Egyptian Politicians, elites and media.. Driving the people into global standoff..
Already Egyptian Tycoons backed by Morsi Government; are land-grabbing in Sudan, for almost 2 million acres, and lots of deals on farming, meat and dairy production and potential labors migrations..!!
The formula is simple.. Egypt will have enough for potable water and industry, yet agriculture can be done somewhere else.. It is a matter of resources and balances, to secure food and economic growth.. Agro sector is only 17% of Egypt's GDP.. Yet, finding placement for 35% workforce in farming.. This is the challenge, which Egyptian planners had always failed to resolve.. Therefore; they had always gone to the easy solution: Maintain the Nile Treaty to sustain the Agriculture sector..!

Tel Aviv - Juba
SINCE WHEN ISRAHELL LIKES BLACK AFRICANS?
"Israel" has signed a pact to cooperate on water infrastructure and technology development with South Sudan, the first economic cooperation agreement between Tel Aviv and Juba.
“We see this as a privilege to be the first to sign an agreement with the new state,” Energy Minister Landau addressed the South Sudanese official in a statement. “We will continue to do everything possible in order to assist you. You are among friends,” he added.
Achilles’ Heel of Egypt
For centuries, there were no competition or power struggle on the Nile Riverheads.. The geopolitics of Nile Basin were always about maintaining the flow towards the Mediterranean.. Various exercises and scenarios were always ready for corrective actions, including the armed force.. Political regimes across the Nile were mostly aware of the mechanism and its associated engagements.. The Ottomans of Egypt had elevated the issue into more urban and legal levels, whereas treaties and protocols were simulated or imposed among the 11 countries sharing the water rights.. Both diplomatic efforts and covert operations were the effective theme during Nasser’s era; with mixed patriotic, regional and continent-level slogans.. However, the most powerful African country in 1960th had had the legitimate rights to serve its rapidly increasing population; with their shear demand on basic needs, centered by water..
Nasser had triggered the Israelis attention to seek all potential and unexpected ways to contain both the Egyptian regional ambitions, and the Egyptian strategic hostility with Israel.. The Nile is the Achilles’ Heel of Egypt.. Israel tried hard during the last 40 years to penetrate Uganda, Ethiopia and Kenya to develop stable allies that would affect the Egyptian water security and welfare.. Egyptians had known the attempts, and had confronted with proactive and reactive plans to maintain their strong indispensible ties with the Nile countries.. This had created the legacy of Egyptian African Policy during 1960-1980, which was remarkable yet unspeakable cross-border programs of corporation and development..
Despite his military up-bringing; Mubarak had turned his back to Africa, strengthening the Egyptian Israeli ties.. On the contrary, Israel had never let to go their strategic goals on the Nile, while the Peace Treaty with Egypt had enabled them to establish more effective policy, actions and relationships.. On the Dawn of 21st century, Israel had strong and comprehensive relations with most of the Nile Countries; which had been served with the Israeli notable technological spearheading..
Since the 1980, Israeli support to the Separatists of Southern Sudan was well reported.. Once the Partition was announced; Israeli flags had been raised along the South Sudan symbols.. Despite the disappointment South Sudanese officials had when sought swift Israeli development support; Israelis continued designing various models to synchronize their strategic orientation with the naivety of this New State..Professionally, the Israeli models are not what is needed for South Sudan, which critically require structural platforms rather than technological boosts.. This Water Management Agreement is 1st between the two states, and will not be the last.. Yes, there are no clear details about scope, deliverables, duration, but it is well known to be a launch for the formal umbrella for all potential Israeli activities, advices and plots as well..
State of South Sudan has the legitimate right to seek any support to develop their unbelievable state of anarchy, despair and devastation into a decent level of a State-Run-Country.. Yet; their obvious pitfall will be gaming with strong parties in unmerciful politics and games of power.. Structures, resources and ranks of South Sudan are far short from the necessary readiness and prequalification for such games, yet their neighboring and friend countries are hesitant to provide any true support.. Regretfully, they once again, prove how Africans are mostly incompetent to mind their own business..!!
