		The Jonglei Canal was designed to bypass the Sudd and direct downstream a proportion of the water that is 'lost' from the Nile each year by spill and evaporation in the swamps.
		Jonglei is a small Dinka village close to the Atem channel at a point where the canal alignment was planned to begin.
		The Jonglei Canal brings the obvious advantage of shorter river communications between Khartoum and the main urban centre of the southern Sudan at Juba, in effect reducing the length of the journey by 300 km.

	Violence in Jonglei, Upper Nile forces MSF withdrawal (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-02)
		NAIROBI, 23 May 2006 (IRIN) - Escalating violence in the states of Upper Nile and Jonglei in southern Sudan has forced the international humanitarian organisation Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) to temporarily withdraw its international staff from a number of clinics, the charity said.
		Clashes between armed groups and direct attacks on villages have occurred in the region north and south of the River Sobat since the beginning of April, the medical charity said in a statement on Tuesday.
		A week later, armed Jikany men descended upon the small Lou village of Dini at the confluence of the Sobat and the White Nile rivers, in apparent retaliation for the previous attack, killing approximately 15 people and stealing 400 heads of cattle.

		The Head of the Disarmament, Demobilization and Reintegration, (DDR), programme at the presidency, Sulaf al-Din Salih said that the SPLM forces’ attempt to disarm citizens in the South was a clear breach of the peace agreement which had determined certain procedures which needed to be followed when disarming armed groups and civilians.
		Some seven people were killed in Jonglei State in southern Sudan in clashes between SSDF armed militias and the Sudan People’s Liberation Army (SPLA), despite a peace deal to end Africa’s longest civil war there.
		Chol warned that these breaches could harm the peace agreement and called on the SPLM leaders to investigate the behaviour of its members because the SSDF would not remain quiet in the face of what is happening and had the right to defend its citizens by all means.

		The Jonglei Canal will drain a portion of the water from the swamps, floodplain and river, but is not likely to cause any drastic change in the ecological conditions of the region when Phase I of the scheme is completed.
		The proposed Jonglei Canal Scheme in the Sudd region of the Jonglei Province of southern Sudan has caused both cheer and concern among the people of the region and brought attention from scientists all over the world.
		On completion of the first phase of the scheme, the Jonglei Canal, connecting Bahr el Jebel (at Bor) and River Sobat (at Doleib Hill), is expected to enable improved utilization of Nile water for irrigation purposes.

	An Overview of the Egyptian-Sudanese Jonglei Canal Project (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-02)
		The Jonglei Canal project, considered one of the most important integration projects between Egypt and Sudan, was halted in 1983 as a result of the Sudanese civil war.
		The Jonglei Canal region is inhabited by around two million people; mainly the peoples and tribes of the Dinka, Nower and Shalak.
		Furthermore, with a large number of the region's youth having gained experience in the construction industry in the north - having fled to escape the war and find work - there should be no shortage of suitable labor.

		The Jonglei Canal is the linear, highly reflective manmade feature aligned in a general north-south direction.
		The purpose, or original rationale, for constructing the canal was to help regulate the seasonal rise and fall of the water through this segment of the White Nile and to drain part of the Sudd for agricultural development.
		However, environmentalists and the local pastoral people are proclaiming that the construction of the Jonglei Canal is upsetting the natural rhythm of plants and, particularly, animals when their migration cycles are impeded by the barrier the canal creates.

		The incomplete Jonglei canal, at a width of 75 m, a depth that varies between 4 to 8 m, and a length of over 360 km, is also detrimental to wildlife in the area, acting as a large game trap.
		At present, its numbers are stable, although the Jonglei canal, irrigation or exploitation of oil in the region could change this (Kingdon 1997).
		The Jonglei canal is likely to have a significant impact on climate, groundwater recharges, silt and water quality; it is also likely to involve the loss of fish habitat and grazing areas, which, in turn, will have serious implications for the local people.

		However, the total annual flow into the country (at Ripon Falls and from Congo) is about equal to the total annual outflow to Sudan, which means that a lot of water disappears within the country through evaporation and evapotranspiration from the lakes and wetland.
		It was expected that the first phase of the construction of the Jonglei Canal will be terminated by 2000, giving 2 km3 per year of water both to Sudan and to Egypt.
		The total amount of water becoming available through the construction of the Jonglei Canal is estimated at 8 km3 in 2015, of which 50% for Sudan and 50% for Egypt under the agreement between the two countries.

		It appears the Nuer and Dinka were classified by later Sudanese government census-takers as “rural” and the Baggara as “nomads.” The 1983 census showed a population in Upper Nile of 1,594,554, of which 89.9 percent was rural, 5.7 percent was urban, and 4.4 percent was nomadic.
		Work on the Jonglei canal was brought to a halt in 1984 by an SPLA attack, however, and the project has not resumed as of the writing of this report.
		The Jonglei canal was to be cut in an almost straight line from the White Nile south of Malakal to the Bahr Al Jebel River near Juba..

		It is estimated that water worth over $1 million to agricultural production is lost annually, through spreading, evaporation, and seepage, in Africa's Sudd swamp.
		In 1974, Egypt and the Sudan agreed upon the construction of a canal - the Jonglei Canal - that would partially drain the Sudd, minimize the water losses, and provide Egypt with water needed during the arid season.
		This project will study the impact the Jonglei Canal might have on the inhabitants of the region.

		A 10,000-strong U.N. peacekeeping force is being deployed to the south to monitor the peace deal, but Lochhead said it had no presence in the areas of the conflict in Jonglei and upper Nile and the fighting had escalated in recent months.
		He blamed the fighting on militias who had not yet signed up to the peace deal, tribal clashes and the forced disarmament of the civilian population by the former rebel SPLA who now govern south Sudan.

		"If these groups re-arm, you might see an escalation of fighting in the region that might destabilise the whole of Jonglei," a political analyst warned.
