Extended Data Fig. 4: Annual change in the mean potential evaporation rates from open water bodies in the Nile Basin.
From: Cooperative adaptive management of the Nile River with climate and socio-economic uncertainties
The annual change values (a–o) are calculated with respect to the mean potential evaporation rates in 1981–2010, such that change values higher than one indicate an increase in rates. Potential evaporation rates from open water bodies were calculated following FAO56 recommendations using a multiplication factor applied to potential evapotranspiration. GERD stands for Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam, UASDC stands for Upper Atbara and Setit Dam Complex, KED stands for Khashm Elgirba Dam, D/S stands for downstream, and HAD stands for High Aswan Dam.
