hey keithold again lol i have an answer for your question below The Nile River flows northward and drains c.1,100,000 sq mi (2,850,000 sq km), about one tenth of Africa, including parts of Egypt, Sudan, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Tanzania, and Congo

The Nile and its tributaries flow through nine countries. The White Nile runs through Uganda, Sudan and Egypt. The Blue Nile starts its journey in Ethiopia. Zaire, Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda and Burundi have tributaries that flow directly into the Nile or into Victoria Nyanza. http://www.egyptattraction.com/nile-river-egypt.html

Egypt is one I can think of.

'The Nile River The Nile river is the longest river in the world. It's 4,132 miles in length and 1,107,000 square-mile basin. The Nile river is made up of two rivers the White Nile and the Blue Nile. These rivers meet in Sudan and then go on on their large journey. The white Nile is a lot bigger then the Blue Nile.. Discovery of the Nile Egypt was blessed by the Nile in many different ways. Because of the Nile Egypt became one of the great cradles of world civilization. The Nile provided the people that moved to it's valley in the year 5000 BC water to drink, irrigation water, farming opportunity, fish and waterfowl for food, papyrus reeds grew on the banks of the Nile and they were used for boats and for houses. these reeds also allowed the ancient Egyptians to make paper on which to write important documents. The Nile River was guarded by desert on either side of it and that offered protection. In ancient Egypt the Nile would flood yearly covering up the farmlands. This would make the land very fertile for farming, thus improving Egypt's agriculture. But the Aswan high dam stopped the great river from flooding each year. Equator The equator is an imaginary circle on the surface of the earth, equidistant from the north pole and the south pole, and dividing the earth in half. The Nile has to cross the Equator in order to continue its long journey. Marine Officer James Corbett says on the Equator there are chunks of vegetation that breaks loose from the shore. This makes it very wavy and hard to steer. Some boats engines give out and people are stranded in the middle of the Equator. All year thunderstorms crash and it rains and pours. The Nile is not the prettiest river when people are crossing it. History of the Nile The first few settlers of the Nile River built houses of papyrus reeds that were all tied together in columns, with thatched roofs. The walls were made of straw, mud, and clay. Later settlers used the clay to build bricks. With the bricks they built stronger houses. Small villages started to appear along the Nile River. The people of these villages learned to irrigate and divert the water during the flooding season. As time passed the residents of the Nile River became better farmers. The Land Around The Nile The land on and next to the Nile has growing plants as do the oases, but other wise the land is all dry deserts. The land gets no water there for they can not grow much. But where the little water is they grow trees and plants and there most popular tings dates. The dates provided food and shade. Water Use of the Nile. The Nile river's mingled waters are poured into the Mediterranean. Many Cities get their water supply from the Nile such as Burundi, Rwandi, Republic of Congo, Kenya, Uganda, and Ethiopia. One 8th of the Niles water is supplied by Atbara. Weather Most of the weather around the Nile river is hot and very dry. They hardly get any rain. Instead of having rain or snow storms they have sand storms. Sand storms are when the strong winds blow the sand around and force it into sand hills which are hill made of sand. These sand storms are not a good thing to be stuck in because when the sand is being thrown around it feels like sand paper on your skin.' http://www.nileriver.com/item_details.php?item_id=49
