After Ethiopia conducted the first and second filling, Egyptian water expert Abbas Sharaki revealed the major improvements related to the filling and operation of the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam.

In a post on its official Facebook page, Sharaki said: “Ethiopia made the first storage with about 5 billion m3 last year, and the second storage, which was not completed last July, was about 3 billion m3, a total of 8 billion m3, due to flooding, exceeding the capacity of the middle lane. 2 billion m3 was temporarily stored, which could be used to generate electricity, but after the end of the flood season in late October, 2 billion m3 temporarily passed without benefit.
