The River Nile
Facts About The River Nile
From south to north, the Nile River which is the most extended river globally runs through African lands separating Egypt into multiple divisions that eventually flow into The Mediterranean Sea via two channels; Rosetta Branch and Damietta Branch respectively. Its total length from its sources in Lake Tanganyika up to its estuary found within Meditterranean sea covers about 6650 km while having a catchment area of 1.9 million square kilometers over 11 different nations including Tanzania - Kenya - Zaire - Burundi – Rwanda – Ethiopia - Eritrea - Uganda – South Sudan - Egypt.
The Nile River originates from Lake Victoria and is interrupted by falls and cliffs that it overcomes to rush strongly up or down until it reaches its natural course. According to the Greek historian Herodotus, "the Nile is the giver of Egypt." One form of tourism, known as "Nile tourism," is centered around the Nile River and involves boats transporting guests to Egypt from the north and south. The river's importance in Egyptian culture is the reason behind this.
The White Nile from Lake Victoria Plateau and the Blue Nile from Lake Tana in Ethiopia are the two primary tributaries that make up the Nile River. This data has been revised. In this instance, the two major tributaries that make up the entire Nile River come together. The location is in Khartoum, the capital of Sudan.
Nile valley Historical overview The Nile has always been the center of immense strength and therefore the object of wishes of colonialists in the 19th Century. It was the period when the European nations had dominion over the Nile Basin countries, when Britain was the Chuuka, including Egypt, Sudan, Uganda and Kenya, Germany ruled Tanzania, Rwanda and Burundi while the Democratic Republic of Congo was ruled by Belgian colonialists known previously as Zaire.
With the conclusion of World war 1,1914-1918 the German empire was partitioned between the British and the Belgians. The British Empire took over Tanzania while the Belgian Empire took control of Rwanda and Burundi — that’s a colonialism history in brief and Ethiopia, remained free. And with the call of the British occupation of Egypt & Sudan in the 1950s, came the Nile River Treaty allocating shares of water in 1959.
