- The #Nile River in Africa is the longest river in the world and as such it brings so many interesting #Geography facts with it. It flows through a total of 11 countries and impacts the life's of hundreds of millions of African's along its 6695 kilometer long path. In this video we will go into the mystery of the Niles unknown source, its hydrography and how it impacts the people living around it. For millennia now, the source of the river Nile is disputed in the scientific community, since there are 3 contenders for the title of the longest headwater of the river Nile. On one hand there is the Ruvubu and Ruvyironza rivers in Burundi, but a recent discovery in 2010 also brought the Rukarara river in the Rwandan mountains into the debate.

I am Rwandan, and on my google map account, I have marks of the sources of the Akagera river. ( you can see exactly when water comes out of the hills) I have marked around 65% of those, and continue when I have time
The farthest source of the Nile is Nyungwe forest 🌳 Rwanda, there’s a video on UA-cam of a journalist that shows.
Brilliant. Thank you
Keep up the good work 👍
Great video
Thankyou. Somuch
Patriotic Brazilians have done so much to displace the Nile as the longest river of the World to no avail. The fact is that, which ever way it is measured, the Nile remains the longest river in the world. Nobody disputes the majestic Amazon as the largest river but in length it is a bit shorter than the Nile.
The Nile basin is interesting. It includes some of the greatest "collection" of freshwater lakes in the World. These includes the Victoria (Nyansa) which is the largest tropical feshwater lake, the Kyoga and the Tana. These lakes are filled up with perhaps over 1000 species of fishes especially cichlids and barbs most being endemic. This will put the Nile basin as one of the most species rich species in the World.
The Nile perch introduced by British colonialists to Lake Victoria did a lot of destruction of the native species of cichlids in the lake.
In the past, it is thought that as much as 200 species had been lost unfortunately. But it is now being realized that most of the species did survive the onslaughter of the Nile perch by "hiding" in the less accesible parts of the massive lake and its smaller "satellites"
😊
It’s not true that it is the longest however you choose to measure.
You can definitely measure in ways that make the Amazon longer.
Whether those are good ways (and if there’s even such a things as the correct way to measure) is a completely different matter.
@@MJW238 officially the Nile is the longest river in the world!!!!
@@clementasampana4402 What official?

“Mississippi River Watershed covers one-third of of US” is true if you exclude the State of Alaska. Love these videos ColorfulClay, retired watershed hydrologist
Well said about river Nile but a video can made upto 20 min. minimum as the river Nile the longest in the world has a great prominence from the ancient Egypt civilization era
🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation:
00:00 🌊 The Nile River is the longest river in the world, with a length of 6695 kilometers.
00:54 🌍 The Nile flows from south of the Equator to the 31st degree latitude, covering 10% of Africa's land area.
01:51 ☔ The Nile experiences extreme seasonal variations in water flow, with the Blue Nile contributing over 70% of the discharge during the wet season.
02:48 🌾 The Nile's annual flooding and sediment flow have historically supported Egyptian agriculture, but the Aswan High Dam has disrupted this balance.

Thank u so much
Enjoyed watching this video my friend Really awesome views Thank you Stay connected
When you showed the flow when the earth turn it seems the Nile flow upward. I don't understand how that is, please explain
The height of lake Victoria is about 1800m above sea level
And it's along the equator
North is not "up" it's just north. Water flows from higher elevations to the ocean (or in some instances below sea level ie dead sea and others).
River Abbay ..not "Nile"
When I was in 5th grade, I learned about the longest river, the highest mountain, the largest ocean, etc. That is 5th Grade. Then when I reached 11th grade the longest river meant nothing. It was only 10 percent of the Nile's stream flow. the balance of the water and 100 percent of the silt that bult ancient Egypt came from the Ethiopian Highlands. I was advised to outgrow 5th grade statistics. There would have been no Egypt without the Blue Nile. But many have not outgrown 5th grade.
Is it possible to divert the water of Congo river to Lake Victoria/Nile river?
I don't think so; there are mountains in the area of land between L. Victoria and Congo (I Rwanda, Burundi, and Uganda).
نهر النيل اطول نهر في العالم ، هو أساس حضارتنا نحن لمصريين القدماء 🤎🇪🇬🏞️
😂😂😂😂,.. you're an Arab ...this river is ours. We make it
a bit out of date ....no mention of the Renaissance Dam......
Is the narator a person or an automaton? With do many oddly pronounced words, it's hard to tell.
I am in fact a person narrating the videos. English isn't my first language so that's why I struggle with the pronunciation sometimes
@@FactSparkyou did great
Any discussion about Nile will remain incomplete without mentioning the name of sir richard burton the first explorer in search of the source of Nile
The most southern source of the Nile river is located in Burundi 🇧🇮,, specifically Rutovu district. There is a pyramid built there. This is how it goes: Ruvyironza>Ruvubu>Kagera>Lake Victoria>White Nile>Blue Nile> The Nile
River Nile tributaries
Fun fact, the Nile had a third branch, the yellow Nile whose origin was in the Chad region. It went extinct due to dessication
River " nile " s length about 7000 k.m. what about her breadth? Please...
They said the Latin name it Nilus, and I asked how they came about the name if they didn't hear it from the African.
The Ancient Egyptian called River/sea miri/mmiri and the name Niile or Nile is from an African Language that means All. So they call it Mmiri Nile which means All of the Rivers.
The Language is Igbo.

Naser is sixth largest man made lake in the world and not second
Get the information correctly in your next video
My etihopia 🇪🇹 nile
We dont call it nile!
Just 🇪🇹 ABAY ❤
Just watch the top gear special
Do away with conspiracy.
1. it's real name is KIIRA.
2. Its source is Jinja , Uganda in lake nalubaale which Europeans re named lake Victoria (as if Victoria gave birth to it 😂😂)
You can visit the source if the Nile in Jinja, Uganda.
1. Who cares
2. Who cares
@@MGharriyI care!!!

Hang on, did he just say it starts somewhere south of the equator and flows north through Egypt..?
Yes I did, the exact source is still disputed
Could Nile be losing its water?
If Nile & its tributaries are indeed going to dry up due to whatever cause there may be (climate change is one), it is indirectly sending an undesirable projection to the countries that the rivers run through. The consequences would be unbearable to the people..
It's already said in Bible, when the end of world is near God will dry this river. You must check it.
Isaiah 19:5-7
Revelation 16:12
The largest river is the Amazon

The most confusing / complex “straight to the point” video I’ve ever watched on UA-cam 😅………😬
The Nile river flows right from the land of Azania. When you read the Bible well and do your research, you will find the truth right there in your face!
The longest river in the world aka the Nile.
Debatable
@@presmasterflash7555very debatable as I learned😂
All the tributaries at the bottom technically aren’t the Nile
The source of River Nile is lake Victoria
Ethiopia.nile.EGYPT.lost.nile.alxsanria❤❤❤
Just come to Uganda and see the source of kiira/ Nile snd stop all these wrong and misguided th we ories
🇮🇳🇮🇱🇮🇳🇮🇱🇮🇳🇮🇱🇮🇳🇮🇱

Nile is 150km longer than amazon
No it's the Nile
Largest is amazon longest is nile
And what kms please😒😏??
The largest river is the amazone ..Nile is the longest
Blessings to everyone, if you haven't yet repented and accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, please do so before it's too late, it's not God's will for none to perish Acts 2 vs 38 John 3 vs 16 Romans 10 vs 13
