The statement that best describes the struggle over water rights between Egypt and Ethiopia over the Nile River is: "both countries want more control over the flow of the river for irrigation and electricity production."

This reflects the core of the conflict, particularly regarding Ethiopia's plans for the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) and Egypt's concerns over water security and the existing agreements governing the use of the Nile's waters.
