Egypt-Aswan

The High Dam contains 18 times the amount of material used in the Great Pyramid of Cheops. The water contained by the dam has backed up nearly 500 km, creating Lake Nasser, the world's largest artificial lake. This water inundated the Nubia, forcing thousands of Nubiians tho leave their villages. With the High Dam the cultuvable area of Egypt increased by 30% and doubled country's power supply but, on the other hand, artificial fertiliser now have to be used because the dam hinders the flow of silt necessary to the Nile valley fertility,
