Construction of the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) began in 2011. The project is now about 85% complete an estimated completion time of about two years, including all remaining civil works and commissioning of the remaining turbines. Egypt and Sudan have not accepted evidence-based facts from statistics and experience of other countries'. Meanwhile, Egypt wants a binding agreement on the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD). On the other hand, binding is not acceptable to Ethiopia. In addition, Ethiopia denies that the dam harms the downstream countries. Even the GERD can help reduce carbon emissions, balance environmental sustainability, increase biodiversity, balance seasonal water flows, and protect downstream countries from seasonal flooding. Even experts state that Khartoum's maximum and minimum discharges during the flood season are 9754 and 477 /s. This study, therefore, assesses the root causes of the disagreement, existing alternative options, and benefits or opportunities of GERD for all countries. Ultimately, Instead of politicians meddling and interfering in matters, field experts should facilitate negotiations. Moreover, all parties shall better comply with international trans-boundary water regulations to reach an agreement. We believe a win-win agreement is the only way to continue the peaceful and respectful use of the Nile
