Regarding the other works mentioned, they are approximate estimates resulting from comparing the proposed works with those already established in Egypt. Precise measurements for these projects cannot be made until they are approved and examined in detail.

(1) The White Nile Dam at Jabal Awliya This work has been approved and construction has already begun. It will consist of a masonry dam on the White Nile, 45 kilometers south of Khartoum, at Jabal Awliya. It will be a large reservoir, approximately 500 kilometers long in the White Nile province. Its actual capacity, when used as a reservoir, meaning the amount of water that can be drawn from it, not accounting for evaporation, etc., is estimated at four billion cubic meters. However, if an exceptionally high flood, like the one in 1913, were to occur before measures are in place to store water from year to year in Lake Albert, it would be permissible to draw an amount of river water sufficient for the full use of the Jabal Awliya reservoir.

The proposed works are intended to be carried out, dictated by these circumstances, so that even in such an exceptional year, a quantity of water can be stored in this reservoir, which is not intended for Egypt, and in any case, will not be less than what was actually obtained in 1913-1914.

This reservoir will also serve as a significant means of controlling high floods, as it is capable of holding more than necessary to add 400 million cubic meters to the river's water, because in reality, it can hold 10 billion cubic meters.

The water will be controlled by closing the reservoir gates as soon as the main Nile water level at Khartoum reaches a level whose exceeding is detrimental to Egypt, and by keeping it reduced until the water recedes to a level that guarantees its flow. The result of this will be
