Even though the Low Dam was nearly overtopped in 1946, the public authority of King Farouk indicated no interest in Daninos' arrangements. Rather the Nile Valley Plan by the British hydrologist Harold Edwin Hurst was supported, which proposed to store water in Sudan and Ethiopia, where vanishing is a lot lower.
- The Egyptian position changed totally after the toppling of the government, driven by the Free Officers Movement including Gamal Abdel Nasser. The Free Officers were persuaded that the Nile Waters must be put away in Egypt for political reasons, and within two months, the arrangement of Daninos was acknowledged.
- In 1955, Nasser was professing to be the head of Arab patriotism, contrary to the conventional governments, particularly the Hashemite Kingdom of Iraq following its marking of the 1955 Baghdad Pact. Around then the U.S. expected that socialism would spread to the Middle East, and it considered Nasser to be a characteristic head of an anti-communist pro-capitalist Arab League.
