The General Directorate of Dams at the Ministry of Agriculture and Irrigation confirmed that the country’s water situation remains stable, with above-average inflows recorded in the White Nile and Blue Nile through mid-July.
In a statement issued on Thursday, the Directorate said the latest technical readings show that White Nile inflows and levels remain above the general average and last year’s levels.
The Jebel Aulia Dam also recorded stable levels above previous years’ averages, while total Blue Nile inflows remained at good levels exceeding those of last year.
The statement noted a temporary decline in daily inflows to the Roseires Dam between July 7 and 9, 2026, from 207 million cubic meters to 129 million cubic meters per day, a decrease of 76 million cubic meters.
It explained that the decline reduced outflows downstream of the Roseires Dam by 100 million cubic meters per day and downstream of the Sennar Dam by about 82 million cubic meters between July 7 and 10.
The decline resulted in a temporary drop in Nile levels at several monitoring stations, recording 1.50 meters at Roseires, 1.70 meters at Wad Al-Ayis, 1.60 meters at Wad Madani, 1.08 meters in Khartoum, 94 centimeters at Al-Halfaya, and 54 centimeters at Shendi.
The Directorate pointed out that water levels in areas north of Khartoum remain higher than those recorded during the previous year as of July 15, 2026.
It attributed the temporary decline to reduced Blue Nile inflows due to lower discharges from the Ethiopian Renaissance Dam during that period, stressing that changes in the river’s hydrology are being managed through the technical operation of dams to ensure stable water supplies.
The General Directorate of Dams announced the formation of a permanent higher committee under the supervision of Minister of Agriculture and Irrigation Prof. Issmat Gurashi and Undersecretary Eng. Daw Al-Bait Abdelrahman, chaired by the Head of the Technical Unit for Water Resources, to monitor the water situation around the clock and take appropriate operational decisions.
The Ministry reassured citizens and farmers that dam operations are carried out according to precise scientific standards to ensure the safety of facilities and secure water needs for citizens and the agricultural sector, supporting stable supplies and the success of the agricultural season.
