Potable water is becoming scarcer all around the
world. Today, The Economist has an
interesting article about Egypt’s growing concern over the scheduled 2017 completion

This very dam is the basis of Book 4 of my Legends
of the Winged Scarab,
The Nile Conspiracy.
While it is of
course a fictional account of the looming conflict between the two countries,
one can only wonder about the future of the Blue Nile; and with it, the future of Egypt.
