Abstract This thesis builds up a nonlinear optimization model to asses the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD)impacts under different scenarios of operation and storage capacity. Theproposed model succeeded to deal with the Blue Nile flow high irregularity nature. Beside, the complexnonlinearity addressed by the configuration of GERD. The results emphasized the irrecoverable severe negative impacts of GERD on Egypt during the long-term operationand not only the initial filling phase, as claimed. Decreasing GERD storage capacity shows a potential of mitigating its downstream impacts along with a relatively high hydropower production |
