Answer 1

The Nile River is the longest river in the world, stretching for 4,187 miles. The Nile flows from south to north and is formed by three major tributaries: the White Nile, the Blue Nile and the Atbara.

The Blue Nile has its source in the highlands of the African country of Ethiopia, by Lake Tana. The runoff from spring rain and melting snow caused the annual summer flood of the Nile that the Egyptians depended on for water to irrigate their crops, and deposit fertile top soil.

Boat on Nile Just north of Khartoum the combined White and Blue Nile meet their final major tributary, the Atbara which also has its source in the Ethiopian highlands.

The Nile then plunges into a canyon. Before the construction of the Aswan High Dam; the Nile rolled through a series of six rapids, called cataracts, between northern Sudan and southern Egypt. Since construction of the dam, the river has gradually changed its course.

North of Cairo, the Nile splits into two branches (or distributaries), the Rosetta Branch to the west and the Damietta to the east.

Lake Nasser is a man-made lake created by the construction of the Aswan High Dam, opened in 1971. The dam was built to regulate the flow of the Nile River, and thus benefit the region's inhabitants. However, technology often also disrupts a local ecosystem, the life and nature it affects.

Boats on nile The canyon that was once behind where the dam is now, was flooded after the dam was built. Before the region was flooded for the dam, some Ancient sites were carefully moved. Others were permanently covered and destroyed by the water. Lake Nasser stretches over a distance of 312 miles. Gone are the days when Egyptians worry that the Nile will flood too high, destroying their crops; or fall too low, not providing proper irrigation. To enjoy the benefits of a steady riverflow, thousands of peoples homes were submerged when the dam went into operation and Lake Nasser was formed.

The Aswan High Dam has caused other changes. The water surface of the lake has reduced the average temperature in the region. The dam has also harnessed the water for the production of electricity and navigation has been improved.

Farmers are forced to use chemical fertilizers because the rich top soil is now deposited in Lake Nasser instead of along the banks of the Nile. Furthermore, the Nile is no longer flowing strongly enough to keep salt water from the Mediterranean Sea from forcing its way up the Nile. The salt water disrupts the animal habitat and sterilizes the soil in the northern delta region where the banks of the Nile are becoming badly eroded.

In one generation, thousands of years of life along the Nile River have been permanently altered.

The Nile river is the main source of water for the nine nations which make up the Nile basin. As is, the water provided by the river is barely enough to satisfy the enormous water demands of the region. By the year 2000, it is expected that at least six of the nine nations which share the Nile's water will experience acute water stress (Ohlsson, 50). Access to the Nile's waters has already been defined as a vital national priority by countries such as Egypt and Sudan. It is an issue over which the two nation's have professed themselves willing to got to war over. Current tensions between Egypt and Sudan, its neighbor to the south, are merely a continuation of a two thousand year-old struggle over who will control the regions scarce water resources. As more of the nations in the Nile valley develop their economies, the need for water in the region will increase. And while the demand for resources increases, the supply is likely to remain unchanged, drastically increasing the chances for armed conflict over the waters of the Nile river. In addition, development projects that are aimed at increasing the flow of the Nile remain endangered by tension and instability in the region, as well as by environmental and financial concerns.
The Nile is formed by three tributaries, the Blue Nile, the White Nile, and the Atbara. The White Nile rises from its source in Burundi, passes through Lake Victoria, and flows into southern Sudan. There, near the capital city of Khartoum, the White Nile meets up with the Blue Nile which has its source in the Ethiopian highlands, near Lake Tana. Over 53% of the Nile's waters come from the Blue Nile. The two flow together to just north of Khartoum, where they are joined by the waters of the Atbara, whose source is also located in the Ethiopian highlands .

The river then flows north through Lake Nasser, the second largest man-made lake in the world, and the Aswan Dam before splitting into two major distributaries just north of Cairo. The two distributaries are the Rosetta branch to the west and the Darneita to the east. In ancient times, the number of distributaries was much greater, but slow water flow, human interference, and the accumulation of silt had led to the disappearance of all the other major distributaries. This has effectively led to the desertification of large stretches of Egyptian land

Answer 2

Longest river in Africa. Starts at Khartoum in Sudan where the "White Nile" and "Blue Nile" merge. Ends in the Mediterranean, at Alexandria in Egypt. Formed the basis of the ancient Egyptian civilization. Predicting its annual floods caused ancient Egyptians to invent early mathematics (geometry) and astronomy. Floods now largely prevented by the construction of a large dam at Aswan. The Aswan Dam was a big geopolitical thing in the 1950s, since Western countries (America, Europe) refused to help build it since it destroyed ancient artifacts and was likely to cause ecological problems (in fact it's silting up fast and problems will be seen soon.) The Soviet Union helped build the dam, which increased Communist influence in the Mideast for a time.

Answer 3

The Nile river is the biggest river in the world and it flows south to north and it comes from 2 lakes and two rivers the Blue Nile and The White Nile it flows from Lake Victoria and Lake Tana the Nile flows into the Mediterranean Sea it flows through all of Egypt the Egyptians used the Nile to trade across the seas you need to do the rest of your homework on your own and stop procrastinating and stop jockin people work

Answer 4

I would have to say Nile, because I think they sound more brutal and complex than Opeth. But at the same time, Opeth is more melodic. But since this is a Death Metal contest, I think Nile deserves more the title of best death metal band than Opeth.

Answer 5

Longest River in the World
It flows North
Nile river Delta is in Egypt where they built the Aswan Dam. This dam has flooded ancient monuments.
