The construction of Tzaneen Dam in the Limpopo Province of South Africa was completed in 1977. Comprising a mass concrete-gravity spillway section that is flanked by earth-fill embankments that are paved with bricks, the dam has a current capacity of 157,3-million m3. This will be increased to 193-million m3 when the project is completed. The more than R600-million upgrade needs to be undertaken to ensure an acceptable level of supply based on an anticipated increase in water demand over a 20-year planning cycle. In addition to supplying municipalities for domestic use, Tzaneen Dam is a source of important irrigation water for farmers in the Mopani district of Limpopo, many of whom are small-scale producers. This project will, therefore, ensure their sustainability.

On May 15, 2024, GWC’s Director of the Western Water Policy Program, Doug Kenney, and Professor and GWC Faculty Board Chair, Mark Squillace, met with a delegation from Egypt at University of Colorado Law School to discuss Egypt’s ongoing struggle to reach an agreement with Ethiopia and Sudan over the management of the Blue Nile River. (The Blue Nile is the major tributary of the Nile, providing roughly 70% of the Nile’s average flow.) Ethiopia recently completed work on a massive new dam called the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) on the Blue Nile for the primary purpose of bringing electric power to its citizens. Egypt, however, has long relied on the water from the Nile for domestic and irrigation needs and to produce its own electric power, and the filling and operation of GERD could threaten those uses. Egypt and Sudan also have concerns about the safety of the new dam since the failure of the dam would have catastrophic consequences for both Sudan and Egypt. Efforts to reach an agreement on the coordinated operation of the infrastructure have been ongoing for several years, yet Ethiopia has been reluctant to make any formal commitments or even to share information about the operation of GERD. As the upstream state with a massive dam, Ethiopia can decide when it will store and when it will release water, and it arguably has no incentive to negotiate with Egypt and Sudan over river management. Much of the discussion focused on alternative incentives that might be employed, perhaps by global partners, to give Ethiopia reasons to negotiate. But it was generally acknowledged that there are no easy solutions, and it seems unlikely that the parties will be able to reach any agreement in the near term. The GWC is grateful for the opportunity to discuss these critically important matters, and will remain available to assist any and all parties working to reach an equitable resolution. https://lnkd.in/gnmcvnrD

The Central Development Working Party (CDWP) has given the green light to a plan to set up a telemetry system for monitoring water discharge at 27 important sites in the Indus Basin Irrigation System. The project will cost Rs23.8 billion. The cost of each unit of the telemetry system has gone up by 157 percent over the last five years, from Rs334 million to Rs882 million. Under the chairmanship of Deputy Chairman Planning Commission Dr. Muhammad Jehanzeb Khan, the CDWP discussed various projects related to energy, transport, communication, and water resources. They suggested a revised plan to the Executive Committee of the National Economic Council (ECNEC) for consideration. The project will be funded through the Public Sector Development Program (PSDP), with Rs500 million sponsored by the Indus @River System Authority (IRSA). The Water and Power Development Authority (WAPDA ) will oversee the project, which aims to automate the monitoring of water flow at key sites in the Indus Basin Irrigation System. Currently, water management in the Indus Basin relies on manual procedures, leading to inefficiencies and potential disputes. The new telemetry system will provide real-time data on water flow and gate positions, replacing manual operations. This will improve water management, enhance transparency, and reduce inter-provincial conflicts. The project's objectives include ensuring accurate information on water availability, installing modern equipment, establishing a data center, and fostering transparency and equitable water distribution. The project is expected to create job opportunities and contribute to the overall improvement of Pakistan's social, agricultural, and industrial sectors. #Pakistan #project #system #IndusBasin #resources #million
