No. There are many in the US, Canada, Russia, Northern Europe and Asia. It takes only a few seconds with a decent world atlas to find many examples.

Is the Nile river the only river that flows northwards?

The Nile river flows from south to north and no it is not the only river that goes northward. Other rivers that flow northward include the Red River (North Dakota), the Lena River (Russia), and the Shennandoah River (Virginia). +++ Most of the major Russian rivers flow North, because the Siberian Plain tilts very gently down to the North, and is fringed by mountains all along its Southern side.

In what direction does the Nile flow?

north The Nile flows North because where it begins as the White Nile is in Uganda at a much higher elevation and as any plumber can tell you....water flows downhill. Some people say that the Nile flows "uphill" because the consider the elevation of the bed of the river as it flows through Egypt but this only because the river source is so much higher that flow through some areas of Egypt might appear to be from a point of lower elevation to a point of higher elevation. Related to this is the Shenandoah River in Virginia. It also flows North. From the point where the North and South Rivers join in Port Republic to the mouth of the Potomac in Harpers Ferry W. Va. Interestingly, the point of origin in Port Republic is at a lower elevation than Harpers Ferry and so it appears that the Shenandoah travels its entire path UPHILL!!! This is a deception however. The fact is the source of the water for both the North and South Rivers flow down from the mountains that form the West and East boundries of the Shenandoah Valley. That elevation gets the water going and the wide, deep mouth at Harpers Ferry contributes to the water's natural flow only to be 'sucked' away SOUTH down the Potomac to the Chesapeake and to the Ocean. This flow of the river helped to conquer North America, made it possible to develop into a Country and played a huge part in the Civil War. Today, it is the only other location where Coors could find water quality and temperature suitable for a brewery outside of Colorado.


Do rivers drain from highest to lowest?

In most places, yes. The only river I can think of that actually runs South to North is the Nile River in Egypt. I believe every river aside from the Nile run North to South.
