effect is a likely to be to blame. scientists are saying that the current level of the standing at 17.61 meters is the highs that they've seen in at least a century and they're attributing that to the number of dams that have been built. over the past few decades now the ground if you can as on them could be one of the contributing factors they say that having a dam build and storing water in the reservoir of the dam can lead to more condensation and heavier clouds and therefore more rainfall for the operations of the ground if you can renaissance that is not clear and nobody knows how they are dealing with the dam that they are still building but that they have partially filled let's go back to a few a couple of months ago when the ethiopians and islands that they have began the partial feeling of the ground if you're in a zones them now that's happened during rounds of negotiations and talks between sudan and downstream countries and egypt and if europea if you had been saying that it will filter down by mid july whether there was
