Assessment of Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Damimpacts using Decision Support System
Journal Title: IOSR Journals (IOSR Journal of Computer Engineering) - Year 2016, Vol 18, Issue 5
Abstract
Abstract: Ethiopian government undertakes plans to develop massive hydropower potential with the construction of a large scale Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) upstream of the Ethiopian-Sudan border in an effort to utilize the water resources potential, improve the water and energy security in order to reduce poverty, create an atmosphere for social change and bring economic growth to the country.The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is one of the most widely used multi-criteria decision analysis in water resourcesmanagement and energy planning.AHP was used to study the trade-offs of reservoir capacity design plansin order to promote a sustainable strategy for water resources management in the Eastern Nile countries that includes Egypt, Ethiopia and the Sudan, without dangerous impacts on the environment and riparian countries.Several environmental, economic and social criteria were considered when choosing the best alternative for sustainable water resources management in the Eastern Nile countries to mitigate the adverse impactsresulting from the construction of GERD to downstream countries.The results of this study showed that the “Do-nothing” is the most appropriate option with regard to the environmentalimpact on the Eastern Nile countriescompared to the original plan and the new applied one (running now).
