in the us one hideout. man's greatest ever effort to control the nile. get hold to the annual flood. and stored a huge supply of water 50 gypped behind its great wall. and the dam was hailed as a triumph of engineering and water management. but there was a price to be paid. of the sort that i could be prior to the construction of the high down the river nile used to bring $4000000.00 tonnes of fertile silt each year that would deposit on the laptop out of the bottle it was like a natural fertilizer for it tell you ok now. this silt washed from the ethiopian highlands was no longer carried into egypt.
9:35 am
it now dropped uselessly to the bed of the manmade reservoir behind the dam and. deprived of the silt egyptian the farmers today rely increasingly an artificial fertilisers. and c the only my grandfather and my father used to need only one sack of chemical fertiliser for an acre of land nowadays each acre needs a thief 7 said. the loss of natural 30 lety in egypt's farmland was not the only negative repercussion of the us one the high dam. the reservoir formed by the accumulation of waters behind the dam was named lake nasa. today
9:36 am
it's one of the largest man. made lakes in the world stretching over 500 kilometers . it straddles the borders of egypt and sudan an area known as new bia. situated on the banks of the river nile rubia was home to many ancient temples. but in the 1960 s. during the construction of the us one high dam the rising waters of lake nasser threaten to submerge these monuments. the united nations spearheaded an international rescue campaign. more than 20 temples were dismantled stone by stone and relocated to higher ground.
9:37 am
the largest of these were the 2 giant temples of abu simbel built by the pharaoh ramses the 2nd. in their new location the temples remain a major tourist attraction in egypt to this day it's. archaeological sites was saved but people living in the area received no such consideration all. the newbie ns an ethnic group originating in southern egypt and northern sudan have lived beside the nile for thousands of years. i.e. movie of old newbie and live on the banks of the night denial is our life like fish
9:38 am
we would die if we left. that they saw. this attachment to the river has proved a blessing but also because. during construction of the ass one low dam in 899 the newbie ns were forced to move. they were relocated here on the west bank of the nile in aswan. today the village of hobson hale is the most famous newby and settlement a place where tourists come seeking a glimpse of a traditional life. which i love allowed people to. i grew up and worked with my uncle who taught me about sailing on the walk i worked with him into his i'm going to get on the bubble and now i have managed to buy my
9:39 am
own small boat past. the newbie and community here has found a new way to make a living from the nile. but a 2nd major displacement of newbie ns was to prove far more dramatic. in may 964 egyptian president jamal abdul nasser and soviet leader nikita khrushchev attended celebrations marking the start of the 2nd stage of building the us one high dam. at the push of a button water levels behind the dam rose rapidly. the project was on track but at the expense of over $120000.00 newbie ends in
9:40 am
both egypt. and sudan we were forced to move. out as i did the idea that it was very difficult to be pulled out of our homeland and taken to another place to have all the good it was very harsh for the displacement my family suffered in the newbie and region was very painful that it was a huge sacrifice anything that. they left everything behind many people died among the many children no one was given any time to do anything our people had to leave everything in a rush to catch the boat move. civilization dating back thousands of years was up to. the newbie in the school their homeland the land of gold. but it was now gone forever. just a meager sum of money. and
9:41 am
a muscle and they wanted but with my father to see 36 egyptian pounds in compensation for the house the land and everything else of the. egyptian man sudanese government's a promise the newbie ns better living conditions. but their new home away from the nile proved far from satisfactory that i didn't love the vehicles and that they moved us into concrete buildings and at a stroke took away our history and civilization they wiped out our identity. they took us away from the nile and new beings are only happy when they have decided the nile but not a single resettlement village was by the river. there . are if jamal is a sudanese newbie and he was
9:42 am
a child. the displacement occurred today he teaches african history in america after 50 years when you look at the new land that was acquired by the movie ends or what then unions were displaced to is a miserable and even when you have an enormous amount of health problems you have very bad logistics and again massive migration but this time he looked like a few g.'s. despite the cooma of displacement libyans have done their best to keep alive their traditions and their distinctive language. many newbie and song santa

ana returned to their last homeland. that dance is inspired by the gentle flow of the nile. you can never forget your homeland the place where you are born and the place where you died. we live now in our memories. i am. i. there is still a large newby and community in northern sudan which remains on the land of its forefathers on the banks of the nile. but even they are now under threat. in 1992 the sudanese government announced its intention to build
9:44 am
a hit. huge hydro power station here in new bia. the planned project known as the cash about dam would use the nile flow to boost sudan's power supply. once again the newbie ans face being sacrificed on the altar of development. there is no social order environmental assessment to get the communities against it we have talking about 99 villages along the nile you are talking about one and a half 1000000 people we are talking about 1000000 acres of land we are talking about the last. place to just. that people live on we are talking about archaeology that did not even scratch the surface. of. the sudanese government put the project on hold but for the movie ends it
9:45 am
remains an ever present menace. it's just like a nightmare or a threat every now and then we hear the president talking about reviving this project which is. if they build because of our this would be the last of the wonderful movie and. environmental and human factors have made many international donors wary of providing loans for large hydrological schemes on the nile. but the rise of a new power on the world stage has given new momentum to unconditional lending. china. hydro power industry. and a few years ago they appeared on the global scene. they started funding
9:46 am
projects which had before because nobody wanted to touch them. the metal. is one such project. it was officially opened in 2009. by sudanese president omar al bashir and the great celebration. the dam was seen as the solution to the country's shortage of power. its huge turbines using the river flow to generate electricity. but the sudanese had initially found it difficult to get the project off the ground. the sudanese government had tried to attract funding from european governments from canada. from other sources for many years and they couldn't succeed because of and by
9:47 am
medical concerns and human rights concerns. in 2003 chinese and sudanese officials put pen to paper on an agreement in which china would provide a substantial loan for the building of the merrily dam. but during the construction clashes erupted when the sudanese army moved in to evict locals from villages that were to be submerged by the dams reservoir. this was exactly the sort of humanitarian suffering which had influenced many creditors to shy away from financing the dam. in the end the protests came to nothing the project went ahead.
9:48 am
as the waters rose behind the dam some 50000 sudanese had to leave their homes and much of their property. oh. i don't know if they're going to i lost everything i had over $101.00 piece is the government going to compensate us if not then i would only compensation is it from allow them that i would i doubt. africa's large dams have not reversed poverty they have not been dramatically increased electricity rates they have not dramatically improved water supply for people living there what they have done is help create a small industrial economy that tends to be companies from europe and elsewhere
9:49 am
and so these benefits are really really concentrated in a very small elite. the number of hydro power stations along the course of the river nile is on the rise. with the exception of egypt the mild basin countries face a chronic shortage of power. large majorities of the populations in these countries do not have access to electricity. uganda is one such example. here on the nile close to its outlet from lake victoria there are 2 new hydro power stations. but combined they don't generate enough power for a country with a growing economy and an increasing population. 90 percent of
9:50 am
our people have electricity 91 percent don't so we have an aggressive through an official program which is on going to have a target that in the next 4 years this number which says today 9 percent should rise to 16 percent in the east. the nile in uganda is characterized by high speed rapids and waterfalls. one of the most well known is the murchison.
9:51 am
it's an area that attracts tourists from around the world. and it's home to uganda as largest national park. the structure of river here is ideal for those seeking the thrill of white water rafting.
9:52 am
i i. close has been running rafting expeditions for tourists along the river since 1996 . he has made a decent living. but these fools are now threatened by the construction of a new dam. turtle was torn between the love of his work and his country's need for electricity. so for my comment about that. they let the good and rough things good so it's for them to know what is good what is
9:53 am
better between. i need electricity but. our demo men i like you are often so much. i like you know so much. a new hydro power station being built here will flood the rapids and create a manmade reservoir. but the dam will meet only a fraction of the country's electricity requirements. in uganda and government is keen to exploit these fast flowing waters to generate power. another hydro power station is planned here further downstream of the karuna fools
9:54 am
another project that threatens the natural flow of the river. if you force a lot of the dumbs it means you extracting more whata. support and as a result of their lake victoria the liberals when the down more than 2. lake victoria is the largest lake in africa. and one of the most renowned sources of the nile. yet it is slowly and gradually shrinking. to be increasing number of hydro power stations on the mile in uganda is drawing ever greater amounts of water out of the lake to move the turbines generating electricity. about half of the recent drop in like victoria which has been pretty extreme can be attributed to the stand there basically opened up and now water can
9:55 am
be let out at any pace that the government chooses to. 3 countries share the waters of lake victoria. this. is the city of kisumu kenya's main port on the lake and the hub of its fishing industry. for 25 years thomas a good 2 that has fished here. he remembers the days when fish were once plentiful and business was good nowadays he's getting a much smaller catch. which we do know north and were raised we don't have enough fish in this lake because all the water is directed to that of a narrow margin and look at those rocks a while back you couldn't see them but now they show how much the water level has
9:56 am
dropped and as they build more hydro post ations all the water and all the fish will go to uganda and to the nile looking for you. the egyptians are content with the water continues to flow on downstream. they accept their nile partners building hydro power plants but they are not prepared to allow upstream countries to build dams that will reduce the amount of water reaching egypt. and i'm a little i don't know i want to we don't have hostile intentions against anyone we don't go to war just for the sake of fighting but if someone is going to stop the water egypt will die of thirst then we will fight with all means available and get out it will die. as populations increase and economies develop demand for the waters of the nile is intensifying. the question remains who
9:57 am
owns the rivers water. perhaps they are may lie in history. in a bygone era when foreign rulers once controlled the full length of the great river . current tensions between countries along the river nile have their roots in the colonial past he could point to you cannot think non-agreement political victory for the new political realities on the ground or increasing the sense of uncertainty over the weekend there was a need to view. the country through the neighborhood kind of been the type of. struggle over the non 000.
9:58 am
hello there are mostly clear and calm picture across much of the middle east across they want to see bits and pieces of cloud in the last few as i was seeing wanted to shout as we go through monday quite a bit of cloud with the work of the whales the caspian sea and in fact working the way for the east was as we go through the day so northern sections of iran and some very well scattered showers as well across areas of afghanistan and northern pakistan becoming a little bit more widespread as we go through cheese day much of the middle east the arabian peninsula is mostly clear and dry the winds all fairly light damage is not as high as they have been 43 in kuwait city 35 in the hall but still fading fail him with 35 the winds all very light since the one of the shows in the fall south and west of yemen that we had down into central africa plenty of showers here the rains pushing further south not typical for this time it is becoming quite widespread through the day all seeing across into much of tanzania as well more of
9:59 am
those coastal showers and even wanted to shout into more northern and central areas of angola and all the while they're working their way through the south africa becoming quite widespread in seymour areas tools east of against and shot just pushing up into southern sections of. that and settle in johannesburg for the next few days. water an essential resource for all humankind across europe pressure to recognise water as a human right and put its management back into public hands is increasing i think that the european commission would be very very. water privatization on anybody it's the only fields. people who see every 2 years something to invest a profit of they want. to the last draw on al-jazeera is by.
10:00 am
the way if by the way you lied to the american people failed to do is job on track you don't go and sleep in jail for nothing ok he still doesn't have a clue. one of the last presidential debate on al jazeera. at least 33 reported dead including a child as intense fighting between azerbaijan and armenia stretches into a 2nd day. this is al jazeera live from coming up new revelations about the u.s. president suggests he didn't pay federal income taxes for years on this this is the
