Abstract
This paper examines the implications for Egypt and Sudan of the development of Blue Nile water resources by Ethiopia. The long‐term development progamme produced between 1958 and 1963 by the Ethiopian government in collaboration with the US Bureau of Reclamation is summarized. A linear programming model is used to examine the effects on Egypt and Sudan of implementing this programme. It is found that water for agricultural use in Egypt and Sudan would actually increase, though there would be some adverse consequences for Egypt.
