The Nile is a riverand its north part flows through a desert. Any river floods when it has to manage a volume of water much grater than normal - in the Niles case very heavy rain and melting snow from the Ethiopian Highlands. However the Nile actually diminishes towards the sea because of its journey through the desert causing evaporation.
