The Nile River

The Nile is 6,690 kilometers long and extends from the south to the north 35 degrees latitude. The basin is a catchment area of ​​3,77,000 square kilometers, which is shared by the eight countries of Egypt, Sudan, Ethiopia, Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda and Zaire, about one tenth of the continent of Africa. Its main sources are Ethiopia and the countries around Lake Victoria. From Cagier Riverin Central in Central Africa, the most distant place on the Nile, to the Mediterranean, people are somewhat affected by rivers and water.

Aswan Dam in Aswan, Egypt polluted the Nile and utilized the power of the river to deal with various social and economic causes. In Aswan, there are actually two dams in the Nile, Aswan High Dam and Aswan Low Dam, both of which are preventing the annual flooding of the Nile River. Prior to the construction of Aswan Dam, the Nile River flooded every winter and there was the possibility of destroying crops planted in the fertile Nile Valley. For the purposes of this article, the two Aswan Dams will be treated as dams, as their effect is actually indivisible.

After 11 years of construction, the Aswan High Dam of the Egyptian Nile River was completed on 21st July 1970. At the top of the road over 2 miles, a huge billion doll of dam ended the flood and drought cycle of the Nile. And we use a huge source of renewable energy, which has a controversial environmental impact. In 1902, a dam was built in Aswan 500 miles south of Cairo. The first Aswan dam provided precious irrigation during the drought, but it did not stop the mighty Nile's annual flood. In the 1950s Egyptian leader Gamal Abdel Nasser envisaged building a new dam on the Nile. One of them was enough to end the flood and deliver electricity to every corner of Egypt. He gained financial support from the United States and the UK, but in July 1956 the two countries canceled the proposal after reaching a secret Egyptian weapons agreement with the Soviet.

Another early civilization was founded by Egyptians in the Nile Valley. The Nile is the longest river in the world and is essential for the development of ancient Egypt. Every year the river gently sinks into the valley and enriches the soil with earth and sand and minerals. This fertile black soil allows the Egyptians to grow a variety of foods. Without the Nile River, Egypt is nothing but an empty desert. Living in Pharaoh alone is not enough, he must also be buried in the house. Pharaoh used slaves to make a huge tomb called pyramid. Every new Pharaoh wants a magnificent grave over the last Pharaoh. The pyramids are growing bigger and bigger. The largest grave, called the Great Pyramid, was built in 2530 BC. Its base covers 13 acres
