Nile River Basin

The Nile River Basin is a large geographical area in northeastern Africa surrounding the Nile River, which is one of the world's longest rivers. It includes parts of countries like Uganda, Ethiopia, Sudan, and Egypt. The basin provides vital water for drinking, agriculture, and industry for millions of people. It also supports diverse ecosystems and wildlife. Managing the basin's water resources is complex because multiple countries depend on it, making cooperation essential to ensure sustainable use and prevent conflicts. The basin's health is crucial for regional stability, food security, and environmental balance.
