    simply using the reserves behind the Aswan Dam would account for any damages from GERD if it was filled over a seven-year (or more) period

It's interesting that such a long and serious article ends with a brief list of seemingly simple solutions, including simply using the water in the Aswan Dam. On the other hand, emptying the Aswan Dam will probably lead to its own share of problems, including reduced electricity production during the years it will take to fill it again.

Also, is this an old article that they've updated? I feel like I've seen it before.
