    The Nile River is the longest river in the world at 6,650 km and flows through 11 countries in northeast Africa. Known as the "father of African rivers", it has historically experienced major flooding that impacts people and the environment. The most recent floods in 2020 rose water levels by 17.5 meters, displacing over 12,000 people and destroying aid supplies in South Sudan. Flooding endangers lives from strong currents and crocodiles, destroys farmland and drinking water sources, and threatens historical sites like the pyramids of Meroë. Flood management includes the Aswan Reservoir in Egypt.
