The Ethiopian capital, Addis Ababa, is due to host the meeting of the water resource ministers council of the 10 Nile basin countries in mid-April, to discuss means of exploiting water and the possibility of carrying out mutual projects to encourage development in these countries. The conference, Egyptian sources told ArabicNews.com today, seeks to discuss the organization of establishing water projects on sub-basins and dams in the Nile River and how to better conserve water in the Nile's source regions in order to allow better use of water without negative effect on the rights of the countries on the northern part of the river.
