    The Baro Akobo river basin is the second most important river system in Ethiopia, with water resources of 23 billion cubic meters per year. Ethiopia has identified over 750,000 hectares of land suitable for irrigation and potential to generate nearly 20,000 GWh of electricity from this basin. Ethiopia is planning the construction of several dams in the basin to harness this potential, including the TAMS Dam with a storage volume of 7.4 billion cubic meters and installed capacity of 1,700 MW, the Baro-1 Dam with a storage volume of 1.3 billion cubic meters and capacity of 180 MW, and the Birbir R Dam with a storage volume of 2.7 billion cubic meters and capacity of

    Baro Akobo/Sobat River Basin

    Baro Akobo basin is the second most important river with water resources of 23 billion m3 /year.
    There is also sufficient water to irrigate 1 million ha land and generate 19,826 GWhr/year
    electricity. The Ethiopian recent master plan study has identified 756000 ha of irrigation
    potential at full development option and installed capacity of 2710 MW. Ethiopia is planning the
    construction of the following Dams:

    1) TAMS DAM-

    The TAMS dam will have gross volume of 8.5billion m3. The live storage is 7.4 billion m3. And
    installed capacity is 1700 MW

    2) BARO-1 DAM

    The Baro I dam will have gross volume of 1.3 billion m3. And installed capacity of 180 MW.

    3) BARO-2 DAM

    Baro 2 will operate in parallel with Baro 1 and will not require a large storage volume. And will
    have an installed capacity of 500 MW.

    4) GENJI DAM

    A weir is selected with max height of 22m and crest length of 135 m. The Genji weir have gross
    volume of 1.5 million m3. It is anticipated that Genji project will have an installed capacity of 216
    MW.

    5) BIRBIR A DAM

    An earth fill has been selected with dam height of 56 m with a gross volume of 1.1 billion m3.
    Birbir A project will have an installed capacity of 95 MW.

    6) BIRBIR R DAM HP

    The Birbir R dam will have a gross volume of 2.7 billion m3 and installed
    volume. And will have an installed capacity of 500 MW.

    h max height of 22m and crest length of 135 m. The Genji weir have gross volume of 1.5 million
    m3. It is anticipated that Genji project will have an installed capacity of 216 MW.

    5) BIRBIR A DAM
    An earth fill has been selected with dam height of 56 m with a gross volume of 1.1 billion m3.
    Birbir A project will have an installed capacity of 95 MW.

    6) BIRBIR R DAM HP

    The Birbir R dam will have a gross volume of 2.7 billion m3 and installed capacity of 465 MW.

    7) GEBA REGULATION DAM, GEBA 1HP, GEBA2

    Geba dam is RCC with height of 30 m and Geba1 Concrete weir has a height of 17 m and Geba
    2 is arch dam with height of 67 m. the total storage is 1,100 Mm3 Total storage volume of these
    projects is equal to 13.6 billion m3. This means they can stop the water completely from flowing
    to south-Sudan.
