Blue Nile

degrees Fahrenheit. The Nile River is the longest river in the world. The Nile River reaches up to 4,258 miles. The Egyptians are able to farm thanks to the annual flooding of the Nile. When the Nile River floods it leaves behind deposits of silt, which is really good for planting crops in. Mainly what Egyptians farm are cotton, rice, wheat, corn, and different types of sugar, onions, and beets. Egypt has a few deserts in within its boarders. Some major deserts are the Blue desert, the…

Process of Nile cycle and its Importance in Agriculture River Nile of Africa is the largest river in the world as it covers a distance of more than 4,000 miles. The river begins near the equator, flowing northward from Lake Victoria, passing through Egypt and eventually emptying into the Mediterranean Sea (Said, 2013). The Nile has two primary tributes; the White Nile that flows from Rwanda and the Blue Nile originating from Ethiopia. In the past, Nile had a predictable flooding pattern that…

represents the mixing between the two groups. The greater the amount of modern precipitation and Nile water seepage, the greater the contribution from modern recharge and the less depleted the isotopic compositions become. Water samples were collected in the area around Dongola east and west of the Nile River. The water samples indicate a strong mixing of modern Nile water to the local groundwater, as Nile River is used for irrigation and for flooding the fields and these samples show also a…

to really appreciate how large this river is. The Nile is so large that Egypt is separated into two regions along it, upper and lower Egypt. The fact that people lived so close to the Nile was very impressive. “About 95 percent of the people lived on the less than 5 percent of Egyptian land that was arable and located along the Nile” (15). After this long journey, I couldn’t help myself and decided to take a quick dip in the cool waters that the Nile provided. I immediately started searching for…

The Nile River is a north-flowing river in northeast Africa. The Nile flows through nine countries, from the Delta region to Lake Victoria(the biggest of African Great Lakes). One half is called The Blue Nile, and the other half is called The White Nile, together they make the longest river in the world. It is about 4,250 miles long, and about 2 miles wide. Every year it would flood, when that would happen the Egyptians would thank the god Hapy, that was the beginning of the year. As it would…

traditions. One tradition that was highly believed in is called Divine Kingship. Divine Kingship is the belief that the pharaoh was one of the gods. Politically, he is said to have immense power and would help the Egyptians in the afterlife. Since the Nile flooded every year at a consistent time it was not hard convincing the Egyptian that the pharaoh made it happen. Using this natural occurrence to obtain power, architecture was found. The king's advisor of the Old kingdom by the name of…

10. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS 10.1. Conclusions Upper Awash basin is located in central Ethiopia, most part is the western margin of the Main Ethiopian Rift (MER) adjacent to Blue Nile River basin to the north. It is confined within the limits 8° 23' 25" to 9° 18' 42" N latitude and 37° 59' 9” to 39° 04' 12" E longitude. The main objective of the research is to evaluate the water supply systems for Addis Ababa city, which is situated at the right northern end of the basin that occupies…

my husband is a farmer who grows wheat and barley. We are located in the Nile Valley, which is northeast of Africa, in a group of villages along the Nile River. Ancient Egyptian life is centered on this river and the fertile land along its banks. My husband and other farmers have developed irrigation methods to control the flow of water during Akhet, in which Hapi, the god of the Nile, blesses Egypt with a flood by the Nile River. The people here believe it is Hapi who gifts us with fertile soil…

For my honors enrichment project, I have choose to do a photo contest. The photo contest I entered in was the Zeiss. The picture I entered in the contest was a marsh which I took when I visited Pinckney Island. Marshes are usually found on the edge of a stream, pond, or lake. They often flood and if the surrounding area gets too dry, they feed the water from the flood back to stream, pond, or lake. A marsh is a type of wetland, an area of land where water covers ground for long periods of time.…

About 3,500 years. Some 600 miles up the Nile valley, south of Cairo, you come upon the Valley of the Kings. Here the pharaohs made secret tombs in the sides of mountains. The Valley of the Kings is one of the most isolated spots on earth. Almost nothing grows there – no tree, no shrub, no blade of grass. The sun hits down from an everlastingly clear sky whose bright blue is the only colour divergence to the dull, constant dark gold rock and sand, hills and valley floor. All along the desert…
