The latest on the second filling of the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam: Ethiopia is expected to proceed with the second phase of filling the GERD during the upcoming rainy season in July or August after it began earlier this month raising the dam’s reservoir spillway by 30 meters — a three-week process that could conclude by end of June before the rains begin, professor at Cairo University’s Faculty of Agriculture Nader Nour El Din told Ala Mas’ouleety’s Ahmed Moussa last night (watch, runtime: 11:01).
