Egypt fears its water flow will decrease, especially with Ethiopia filling a reservoir with 74 billion cubic meters of water.

埃及担心尼罗河的水量将会减少, 尤其是与埃塞俄比亚的这一工程会将740亿立方米河水注入水库。

This solar panel powers a water pump, so the village can make it through dry periods by filling this reservoir.

这个太阳能电池板为水泵提供动力，因此村庄可以通过向这个水库注水来度过旱季。

When the American West gets heavy snowfall in the winter, that snow melts slowly in spring and summer, filling reservoirs, where it can be useful when it is needed later.

通常美国西部地区冬天下大雪时，积雪会在来年春夏两季慢慢融化填充到水库中，以供不时之需。

But Ethiopia is not planning to have finished filling up the reservoir until around 2027 meaning that there are still probably at least five more fillings of the reservoir plan to happen before that.

但埃塞俄比亚计划到 2027 年左右才会完成水库的蓄水工作，这意味着在此之前，水库可能至少还有五次蓄水计划。

But with little ability to influence Ethiopia's unilateral willingness to continue filling out the dam's reservoir, Ethiopia has been setting a precedent for dam in the Nile without any negotiations with any of its neighbors.

但是，由于几乎没有能力影响埃塞俄比亚继续填满大坝水库的单方面意愿，埃塞俄比亚不与任何邻国谈判就在尼罗河上建坝的先例。
