[47]Engineering questionsDam construction in 2014In 2012, the International Panel of Experts was formed with experts from Egypt, Sudan, Ethiopia, and other independent entities to discuss mainly engineering and partially impact related questions. On 26 June 2020, Egypt, Sudan, and Ethiopia agreed to delay filling the dam for a few weeks. However, the next water regulating dam in Sudan, the Roseires Dam, sits only a few dozens of kilometers downstream. It will thus increase the useful lifetime of dams in Sudan – such as the Roseires Dam, the Sennar Dam and the Merowe Dam – and of the Aswan High Dam in Egypt. Egypt, Ethiopia and Sudan established an International Panel of Experts to review and assess the study reports of the dam.
