Nice video just one correction. The Nile in Ethiopia is reffered to as the black nile because it is mixed with fertile soil and minerals when it meets at the border with the white nile that's the starting point of the blue nile. The minerals that flow from Ethiopia through the black nile is what makes the soil in Egypt fertile and good for irrigation.

@@larochejaquelein3680 @Madina the Nile is indeed called Abbay by the Ethiopians, it was called Aur (Black) by Ancient Egyptians, the conquering Greeks brought the term Nile (Nahal) meaning River... so in some sense, we now call the Nile: The River River if you translate all the foreign into English. Most likely the Greeks originally joined the terms Aur Nahal (meaning Black River), and over time due to the power of 'laziness' and being the dominating ethnicity and because it was the only river in sight, simply referred to it as the Nahal.

[@yaballo1]

As well as the Blue Nile, most of the waters of the White Nile also originate in south-western Ethiopian highlands & the waters flow to the White Nile via a major tributary named 'Baro' [in Ethiopia] & 'Sobat' in South Sudan. Most of the waters of the White Nile that originate in Lake Victoria do not actually reach Khartoum (Sudan, where the two main branches of the Nile meet) & Egypt but are dispersed in the massive 'Sud' marshes located in South Sudan. In total, Ethiopia contributes about 85-90% of the total waters of the Nile that reach Khartoum & Egypt.

[@lukak3]

I was a bit surprised when the figure mentioned was 60% and can rise to 80% in the rainy season. I do not remember which source it was, but the figure 86%. Also, attributing a 20% increment due to rain is madness. Sobat and other tributaries to the White Nile originating in Ethiopia join the white nile downstream to the Sudd Wetlands where substantial evaporation takes place.

[@yaballo1]

@@lukak3 - yes. Thanks. Also, the vast Sudd swamps in South Sudan contribute to the rains that fall on the Ethiopian highlands & fed all the rivers that are the major tributaries of the Nile river. In a sense, the Sudd Swamps - along the Congo Rain forests & the Gulf of Guinea [Atlantic Ocean] - is the source of moisture & clouds that fall as summer rains on the Ethiopian highlands - the same rains that also feed all those Nile tributaries as well as giving moisture to the small farms on the Ethiopian highlands which are 100% rain-fed [do not use irrigation]. So, logic suggests that attempting to dry the Sudd Swamps as a series of Egyptian & Sudanese regimes have tried could result in reduced amount of rains on the Ethiopian highlands. And, that would have worse consequences for Egypt & Sudan as well as for Ethiopia. Less amount of rains on the Ethiopian highlands due to the drying-up f the Sudd swamps means less water would flow into the tributaries that feed the Nile. Less rains on the Ethiopian highlands could also push more Ethiopian farmers to use irrigation instead of just relying on the rains - which means that even less water would flow to the Nile via the tributaries. Hence, it is better to leave nature alone, reduce human interference or dam building madness rationalised on the whims of nationalistic politicians & engineers...

Hi, excellent video. Just a small correction : silt is a grain size ike sand or gravel, but smaller than sand and larger than clay. Muddy waters like the blue nile you mentioned carry these sediments in suspensions, which is often deposited during flood events. The sedimente, and therefore the silt, is made up of minerals and not the other way around like you said. These minerals can be decomposed by plants and pedogenetic processes, releasing nutrients.

[@cremedelacoochie5688]

You have that backwards. Silt is smaller than clay and larger than sand.

[@mucherusidney2045]

It is important to note that Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda are not heavily dependent on Lake Victoria (they need to change that name to the East African Lake) for water consumption. It`s only the communities that live around the lake that are dependent on it for water, but I wouldn`t say heavily dependent. It`s more of a source of fish than water. There are plenty of water sources in these 3 countries but the infrastructure to get this water to the masses is what is lacking. Most of the countries you mentioned there apart from Egypt and Ethiopia, are in what is known as The Great Lakes region.

Ethiopia must control the Blue Nile waters and set terms for water use in Egyptian brothers and sisters. It was infact very wrong for Egypt to unilaterally built the Aswan high dam and flood, obliterate and destroy the Nubian people's way of life. The Egyptian government should have discussed the Nile river water use by the rest of the 9 Nile basin countries. The bottom line now is that Egypt needs to implement drip irrigation, explore the use of groundwater, built desalination plants and cut down on their discharge of municipal and industrial waste into river Nile. The key thing that they should focus on is to work with upstream river Nile countries to plant trees to increase forest cover and reduce deposition of silt into lake Tana, the source of Blue Nile.

Trust me, people can tell propaganda from the truth..that is why not many people fell for this outright lie....he got all the facts wrong...for example he doesn't tell us why a colonial treaty which non of the upper riparian nations(the providers) were not party to and does not give a drop of water share is fair? Cos that is all the upper riparians are objecting to, and Egypt is trying to cling on to.....the truth is, Egyptians know too well that there is a win win technical solution but suffer from exaggerated sense of self importance as a country that bases its existence on being a l*ech between the west and middle east, with at most disrespect for black Africans..and this video is just one of their dispatched dogs....

[@user-my5bg5nm2w]

I appreciate what you did plus it is a good video. i do have a comment though I think that you need to call the rivers with their Original given name before they become Nile, Abay is its original name given to the river not blue nile

[@naty2633]

maybe call the rivers with "ALL" original names since the blue Nile IS an original name when translated to English because Sudanese people call it " Al-Neel Al-Azraq" which means the blue Nile in English.

[@paulinhoxavierii3744]

River Nile in Uganda kiira or kiyiira so I guess names very from country to countries or even regions

[@davidonfim2381]

That's a ridiculous standard that serves only as political gesturing and comes at the cost of effective communication. I hate this trend of obsessing over such superficial and meaningless details. Names change, and different people have different names for the same thing. The fact is that the name "blue nile" is the accepted name in English, so that's what it should be called. Calling it something else just invites confusion and wastes time due to having to explain the alternative usage. If we consistently tried to call everything by its "original name" (whatever that means- just trying to figure that out would incur a huge waste of time and effort), nobody would ever know what anyone was talking about and we would have to spend insane amounts of time explaining the changes to each other and having to re-learn everything.

Egypt is no stranger to mega projects so it makes you wonder whether they found out a problem with this idea or maybe irreversible consequences.

[@mahmoudelaraby1599]

Recently Egypt started reserving water in artificial lakes and digging a new branch to sainai to use it for agriculture ,other mega projects and reserving the rest,the amount of water wasted is relatively small we are currently having a water cold war with Ethiopia because they refuse negotiations and refuse any interference from the US to resolve the matter

[@comtass3834]

@@mahmoudelaraby1599 In my opinion, I think the Nile should be used by all of the countries that it flows from. Egypt built its dam and Ethiopia should have the same right in their land. The U.S. did intervene, but the U.N. also intervened as well. The U.N. experts already decided that the water flow of the Nile would not negatively affect any Egyptians. Think of it as if the Mississippi started in the middle of Mexico and around 89% of the source of the water came from Mexico, and Mexico started to build a dam that would not negatively affect the much richer U.S. While giving electricity to half of Mexicans and available drinking water. And imagine if the U.S. is refusing to listen to the U.N. and only hoping that France's opinion in the matter counted. This is the situation in Africa, Donald Trump is supporting Egypt for no absolute reason. The Cold War would eventually end after Donald Trump's reign ends and Joe Biden or Bernie fixes everything up. Before you respond pls don't go on a rampage. All I did is state my opinion and backed up what I thought. There is no need of getting Nationalistic and threatening to go to war or something like that.

[@bircruz555]

0:00 the way the documentary scenes begin is the way the ancient world used to orient itself, towards Africa. To the Egyptians, the Ethiopian Highlands were their "north". And "Upper Egypt" was referenced as "North". True North, was, however, the "sky". Accordingly, words for "North" and "sky" are interchangeable. "Highlands," which goose the sky, are referenced similarly.

From the title, I thought this video is about Nile and the nine basins countries but instead it is all about Egypt. And the next video is about the Grand Renaissance Ethiopian Dam (GRED) and how it is the source of conflict. They (Ethiopians) built with their own money, on their own water, in their own country but some how only Egypt sees a problem with that. We Africans stand with Ethiopia!
