UC Davis anthropology professor Monique Borgerhoff Mulder and students in her spring 2015 Anthropology 103H class write about the dam's ramifications for local communities. 

The Gibe III dam sits on the Omo River, 300km southwest of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia's capital. A designated UNESCO World Heritage site, the Lower Omo Valley is home to five national parks and over 200,000 people. Scholars predict that the dam and its associated plantations will have catastrophic effects for these citizens.
