    The document discusses the Nile River from an anthropocentric perspective. It notes that the Nile flows through 11 countries and has experienced increasing human impacts over time, from domestication and transportation pre-1900s to overconsumption and pollution post-1930s. Local communities have long relied on the Nile for activities like irrigation, household use, waste disposal, and transportation. However, rising consumption rates, dam construction, increased littering, and improper waste disposal are posing threats to the river.
