This book, after setting out basin-level legal and policy successes and failures of managing and sharing Nile waters, articulates the opportunities and challenges surrounding the GERD through multiple disciplinary lenses. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt sets out its possibilities as a basis for a new era of cooperation, its regional and global implications, the benefits of cooperation and coordination in dam filling, and the need for participatory and transparent decision making. By applying law, political science and hydrology to sharing water resources in general and to large-scale dam building, filling and operating in particular, it offers concrete qualitative and quantitative options that are essential to promote cooperation and coordination in utilising and preserving Nile waters. The book incorporates the economic dimension and draws on recent developments including: the signing of a legally binding contract by Egypt, Ethiopia and Sudan to carry out an impact assessment study; the possibility that the GERD might be partially operational very soon, the completion of transmission lines from GERD to Addis Ababa; and the announcement of Sudan to commence construction of transmission lines from GERD to its main cities. The implications of these are assessed and lessons learned for transboundary water cooperation and conflict management.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eZeray Yihdego\u003c\/strong\u003e is a Reader in International Law at the University of Aberdeen, UK.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlistair Rieu-Clarke\u003c\/strong\u003e is a Professor of Law at the University of Northumbria, UK. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAna Elisa Cascão\u003c\/strong\u003e is currently an Independent Researcher\/Consultant, and until recently was a Programme Manager at Stockholm International Water Institute, Sweden.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 224\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.6 x 9.1 x 6.1 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 29, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45422862565478,"sku":"9780367376901","price":118.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0599\/7255\/0758\/files\/RXRzS0tRQ2ZjemVtbGFEdHlVL1Z1dz09.webp?v=1775551828","url":"https:\/\/infinitylightwa.com\/products\/the-grand-ethiopian-renaissance-dam-and-the-nile-basin-implications-for-transboundary-water-cooperation-paperback","provider":"Infinity Light","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
