the white nile and blue nile join in sudan, and the nile continues its journey northwards towards the mediterranean. today, this waterway provides around 300 m million peoplplen five different countries with water. but by 2030, the region's population is forecast to reach 396 million. wiwill the nile still be able mt all their water needs? especially given that africa's largest dam is currently being built in ethiopia. reporter: beyond this simple string barrier lies one of the most sacred locations in ethiopia. only orthodox christian males, who are fasting and barefoot, are allowed papa. the e legendary source of the be nile, or gish abay as it's called here, is off-limits for all others. some 100 kilometers downriver, the precious waters flow into lake tana -- the largest lake in ethiopia. one of the many orthodox monasteries which dot this region is located on a small island in the middle of the lake -- debre maryam. belief in the power of the river's water draws pilgrims to debre maryam as well. priest eshete medhem was born and raised on the banks of the abay river. eshete: abay
