At one time or another there has always be 'drought' of varying seriousness. In modern times for Egypt this has been elevated by the Aswan High dam, more recently, drought during the 1980s led to widespread starvation in Ethiopia and Sudan but Egypt was protected from drought by water impounded in Lake Nasser. However in 1988 and for the first time since the Aswan High Dam was finished in 1970, serious shortages of water and hydroelectric power threaten Egypt. See the link below.
