Abstract
This paper is addressing the Ethiopian dam impacts on the Egyptian water and human security from water security approach. First, the paper will address the conceptual framework of the water security approach. Second, the case study is Egyptian water security and how the Ethiopian Renaissance dam will impact on it. This paper tries to discuss the conflict between upstream countries and downstream countries in their rights to exploiting the Nile River water. Do the upstream countries have the right to develop the water, which flows in their own land, in a way to enhance their people life, and should the downstream countries defend their rights of the water which naturally flows to their lands. I will address the relationship between variables through exploring Nile basin countries relations and the historical agreements in post-colonization period and then addressing the impacts of the Ethiopian Renaissance Dam on the Egyptian water security. Then, how the water security issue could affect human security, as a result.
