Kenya's Lake Turkana and Ethiopia's Hydropower Projects

The National Geographic magazine published in August 2015 an article titled "The Last Rites for the Jade Sea?" by Neil Shea.  It discusses the potential impact on Lake Turkana in Kenya of a series of dams on the Omo River in Ethiopia, which supplies 90 percent of the water for Lake Turkana.  It includes an excellent map in the upper left hand corner of the article that can be enlarged.
