"Construction has begun, finally, on the site of the new Bujagali Dam. The work will take a minimum of 4-5 years to complete.
When completed, the New Dam will wipe out arguably the best 45minute stretch of white water in the World. The initial construction requires a cofferdam to be built across 'The Ugly Sisters' channel. We are likely to lose this run within the next two months.
Furthermore the dam company has started blasting for rock beside the 'Total Gunga' rapid and during blasting they have established an exclusion zone stretching from 200metres below 'Bujagali Falls' to the top of Silverback.It must be stressed that the new dam should not affect the levels of the lower sections of the River. We should still have 'Nile Special' and with luck, and a bit of higher water, 'Malalu' will again be available.
It will be a tragedy to lose the top section, but Uganda does desperately need power for economic development. If you want the chance to paddle the top section again, then get here fast!"
such a fuck with this daming !""""!!!!!!!

Nice Video Mate : )
But don't you think if you are trying to promote work and money for the area you should tell the truth and not be so one sided ? The sad truth is the dam is going to be whether we like it or not... however it is not going to be the end of rafting and kayaking on the nile. Most of your footage is from rapids below silverback. I think if you want to help the locals you should encourage people to continue to visit the area and not put them off.

I know what will happen, hopefully alot of ugandans will get less power cuts and more imployment from the new dam, pluss will have less arogant southafrican burstards hanging around those camps ripping people off and treating locals like shit.....
