The porpouse of the damm is to generate electricity. If you deny ethopians the use of the damm for this task, you have an argument you can use in negotiations. Something in the way of : "If we don`t achieve an agreement, I cannot avoid be f*cked, but I can make sure that you are as f*cked as me" And I don´t think the egiptians are concerned about the capacity of Ethopia to fill the damm without harming egpcian interests......They are more concerned about their will to do so, if there is any conflict in the future. The ethopian control over the river-flow means that Egipt becomes efectively a vassal-state. If the ethopian goverment is ruthless enough, in the enviroment of a conflict, they could even destroy the damm themselves, so that Egipt (and probably Sudan) would cease to exist as a viable state, do to the tsunami that would erase the only 10% of their land that is of any use..... Or this could be made by any terrorist group........ These are the things that bother the egipcians.......

@chloroxbleach8561 of course, this would be the reasonable thing to do, but it will not happen.....because all the concerned parties are humans, and that is not how humans act......
