Egypt Water Anxiety Grows Over Ethiopia Dam on Nile: CAIRO (AP) -- It's an ancient worry facing a modern challenge.

Anxiety over water is growing in Egypt as Ethiopian leaders press forward with plans to build a massive dam that officials fear will block the flow of the Blue Nile.

Addis Ababa started construction of the massive Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam in 2011 when Egypt's leaders were consumed with the Arab Spring uprising that ousted longtime President Hosni Mubarak.
