Question

Why is river valley planning necessary in the Nile basin ?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Apart from the need to manage a precious resource carefully, the very process of reaching co-operation would create a stabilising and more transparent atmosphere in the countries that depend on the Nile basin. It would widen political participation, build political stability and spread confidence between states.

Answer 2

The downstream states of Egypt and Sudan try to assert control over the Nile flow, while upstream states try to find ways to secure water for their well-being.
