Water sustainability: Egypt’s only choice is to connect the Congo River with the Nile

Negotiations between Egypt, Ethiopia and Sudan to stop the project going ahead have hit a brick wall.
This includes international efforts to help try to reach a solution. US envoy for the Horn of Africa Jeffrey Feltman visited Sudan, Egypt and Ethiopia to broker a deal. He failed.
Then the United Nations and the African Union tried their part too, but to no avail.
Cairo has limited options to compensate for the plummeting amount of water that will occur when the Renaissance Dam is fully functional.
The clear solution is to pursue a channel connecting the Congo River to the Nile basin.

Along with Ventura County, northwest Los Angeles County, most of Kern County and the eastern portion of San Bernardino County are also in the federal report’s highest range, signifying “exceptional drought.” Almost all of California is facing detrimental drought conditions, with 50 of the state’s 58 counties under a state of emergency amid excessive drought conditions.
