A controversy has ensued over its construction, with several NGOs forming a campaign to oppose it. According to Terri Hathaway, director of

A group of international campaigners launched an online petition against Ethiopia's dam project over human rights concerns.

The large and destructive flood of 2006 is the only one that has occurred within the past fifty years. The recent drop in the level of Lake
Turkana, which is generally recognized to receive about ninety percent of its waters from the Omo River's inflow, has already caused a rise in salinity level.

The increased size of the delta, now about 1,300 square kilometres (500 sq mi) in extent, has provided lands for recessional cultivation and pasture for cattle and other domestic livestock of the pastoralists and agro-pastoralists indigenous to the lower Omo basin.
