The River Nile has sustained life in North Africa for millennia, during which time Egypt has successfully tapped into this resource. But in the area of the headwaters of the Blue Nile, Ethiopia has lacked the infrastructure to harness the river’s potential. In order to redress this imbalance the Ministry of Water and Energy for the Republic of Ethiopia commissioned a feasibility study for 800 km² (198,000 acs) of net irrigation development in three schemes, which required a total study or search area of 1,700 km² (420,000 acs)in Ethiopia’s Nile basin. The project was funded by the World Bank and is being undertaken by UK based consultancy company Halcrow, who mapped the river catchment areas of Megech, Upper Beles and Negeso using Leica Geosystems GNSS equipment and stereo photogrammetry from satellite imagery. more
