Dr. Abbas Sharaki, a professor of geology at Cairo University and an expert on water resources, said that there is a temporary rise in the level of the Renaissance Dam lake.
Sharraq added, on his Facebook page, today, Tuesday: The flood of the Blue Nile continues to rush from the top of the middle passage (breadth of 255 m) of the Renaissance Dam at a rate of 600 million m 3 / day, which cannot pass the entire flood, which leads to a temporary increase in the stock of about 2 billion m 3 at a level of 603 meters above sea level instead of 600 meters when storage stopped on August 11, bringing the total storage to 19 billion cubic meters.
The water resources expert continued: The lake will return to its level at the end of the third storage, which is 600 meters above sea level, with a total of 17 billion cubic meters, in the second half of next September.
