Ethiopian Damns cause water shortage throughout southern Somalia

The government cannot do anything , the people of the area will simply suffer from drought because of Ethiopian Greed.

DAM* ffs

This is a Genocide and will get worse. I hope Egypt develops nuclear weapons !

 

[Bernie Madoff]

@CangeeroBear Do you think Egypt will do anything about this?

Time to dig wells, what ppl don't know is that their is more drinkable water underground than rivers and lakes combined. Even in the US 45% of clean water comes from wells, we haven't even tapped .05% of underground water in Somalia, time to start digging.

The irrigable area around Godey town alone is greater than all irrigated land in Somalia. DDSI is currently using very little of the Shabelle's flow, and Somalia is already experiencing water shortages. Can you imagine what would happen if only half of the land around Godey was irrigated? Hiraan, Middle and Lower Shabelle are living on borrowed time.

Red mark is Godey town.

Judging by the nature of the dam built plus the geographic location it seems like the Jubba river will be hard hit from the dam as opposed to the Shabelle river.

If things continue as they are jubbaland will be experiencing water shortages on a mass scale in coming years.

 

[Thegoodshepherd]

@Coulombs law That is unlikely because the Juba does not develop a valley until about 30 miles from the Somali border. It runs through mountains for almost the entire time it is in Ethiopia. It cannot be used for irrigation within Ethiopia until the last 30 miles. The dams Ethiopia has built on the Juba will have next to no impact on the amount of water that reaches Jubaland because they are not for irrigation but are for hydroelectricity. The Shabelle runs through flat land for the entire time it is in Ethiopia and has only 1/3 of the water of the Juba.

Juba runs through mountains in Ethiopia, totally unusable except for very small scale farming.

There was once an entire caste of water engineers in Southern Somalia known as the Madanle people . The Geeljires over powered them and lost their knowledge .

Please refer to my ancient Azanians thread .

Maybe they are trying to weaken us?

We can get more clean water (drinkable) from aquifers underground anyway if the government would invest some millions into it there wouldn't be any famines and shortage of water.

This problem will continue to exist regardless of how many wells we drain.

We need to focus on building an economy that could afford to use desalinated water for day to day use.

Somalia is only a couple hundred kilometers wide so piping the fresh water to inland towns shouldn't be that expensive.

Pulling water from aquifers would only end up increasing the salt levels in our soil and further turn our country into a desert.

Building desalination plants would cost billions of dollars and you would need several of them across the southern region plus skilled workers to maintain and guard the plants effectively.

This is too much of a tall task for the current economy of Somalia right now.
They are gonna need a cheaper and more effective solution to obtain water.

Hence why I said we need to focus on the economy first.

With more funding we'd have more options.

If we don't aim for that then we'd be forever stuck with our current limited options that damaging the ecology.

Every industry m will be disrupted by technology and the adoption of creative deregulation will drive the cost of desalination down.

Keep an eye on Agro equipment from Japan. Thier drip tech is phenomenal and efficiency of our Agro sector will only be changed through our growing mindset of hard work and creativity.

Desalination will continue to become cheap and more efficient with new disruptive technology
