WATER TO KILL FOR BY JACOB ZOCHERMAN
There are presently more than 40 species of fish in Lake Turkana. A spike in the water's salinity, as a consequence of the Gibe 3 dam's construction, will threaten their survival. A lower water level can also ruin the spawning grounds of some species whose rate of reproduction could stagnate. The construction of the Gibe 3 dam in southern Ethiopia is meant to guarantee large parts of the Ethiopian energy supply, but the price is high: over a half million people risk starvation when the river they live on is choked off.
