A hydro-electric plant has taken away much of the water, but the Blue Nile Falls remain a major natural attraction in Ethiopia.
In fact, we would be followed for a long time by locals, and it was harder than anywhere else in Ethiopia to get rid of them and just enjoy the surroudings by ourselves. Certainly, we ignored the crowd as much as we could, but it only left us with the most stubborn of self-appointed guides. Even though we visited just after the end of the rainy season, the waterfalls seemed to have lost much of their water, and in fact, we later learned that the power plant takes away some eighty percent of the waterflow. The name may be the Water that Smokes (Tis Issat) or Smoke of the Nile (Tis Abay), but the thunder has gone.
