How often does the river Nile flood?
In May the Nile River is as low as it will be all year long. From June to August the river rises rapidly. In the middle of September the river is at its highest. By the time October rolls around, the Nile's water level begins to decrease. The flood still continues every year, even today. Now we are safer because we have technology for flood warnings, rescue helicopters, and many other devices to help keep you safe. The Ancient Egyptians even held a big festival every year for the Nile River because they thought that the Nile River flooded because Isis, an Egyptian goddess, wept one tear drop.

Why could it be that crops are around the river Nile?
The river Nile (prior to the construction of the Aswan Dam) used to flood every year, depositing both water and silt on the land near the shore. This was a source of both irrigation and fertilization, by a means that was completely effortless for farmers; it just happened by itself. It was, therefore, very easy to farm in the vicinity of the Nile. Now the Nile is used to generate electricity instead, and does not flood.
Where does the the river nile start?
Generally Lake Victoria is considered to be the source (start) of the Nile. On the northern edge of the lake, water pours over a waterfall, known as Ripon Falls, into a narrow opening which some people believe is the beginning of the River Nile. Ripon Falls may be the starting-point of the river, but the many streams that flow into Lake Victoria could claim to be the true source. Much of Lake Victoria is surrounded by mountains with streams tumbling down into the lake. The largest tributary of Lake Victoria is the Kagera river. The Kagera and its tributary the Ruvubu, with its headwaters in Burundi, is now considered to be the true source of the Nile. It is from here that the Nile is measured as the world's longest river.
