The Nile River is the longest river in the world. It flows northward from the lakes of Central Africa to the Mediterranean Sea.However, the Nile carries less water than many other rivers because it flows through the Sahara desert in the north. 97% of Egypt’s population lives in the river’s valley.
Africa’s biggest river drains about 10 percent of the continent. It flows through many countries of eastern and northern Africa.
The Nile consists of two tributaries. The White Nile starts near Lake Victoria andflows through steep canyons andmountainous landscapes of tropical Africa. The Blue Nile begins its journey on a high plateau in Ethiopia. It is shorter but carries more water and flows much faster than the White Nile. It also brings along fertile mudand causes most of the flooding in the north. The rivers got their names from the water that they carry with them. The Blue Nile starts out as a bright blue stream and turns black as it takes sediment with it. The White Nile carries whitish grey sediments from the tropical regions.
