Sudan's Gezira irrigation scheme, covering almost 890,000 hectares and reliant on water from the Nile, is facing a growing crisis due to soaring fuel prices triggered by the Iran war. The irrigation system employs a network of canals fed by the Sennar Dam to distribute water to farmers. The situation reflects the vulnerability of agricultural practices to geopolitical conflicts and the urgent need for sustainable water management strategies in the face of escalating global tensions over resources.
