What is the source of the river nile taken as being what?
Primary source - White NileSecondary source - Blue NileSource confluence at Khartoum, SudanTo be accurate, the Nile River consists of two river systems (tributaries) namely the Blue Nile and the White Nile. These two rivers obviously have seperate points of origin. The point of origin for a river is marked at the furthest distance along the entire course. The White and Blue Niles converge at Khartoum (confluence) in Northern Sudan before they flow northwards through Egypt as the Nile River.The White Nile is by far the longer of the two.Even today there is still debate as to the EXACT source of the White Nile, as there are many smaller tributatires, streams and lakes as you get closer to the source.Included below are two "accurate" and referenced sources for the river:S. Liu, P. Lu, D. Liu, P. Jin, W. Wang, Pinpointing the sources and measuring the lengths of the principal rivers of the world, International Journal of Digital Earth, Volume 2, Issue 1 March 2009 , pages 80 - 87,DOI: 10.1080/17538940902746082°19'35"S and 29°21'30"E. The length of the Nile River is 7,088 km from its source in Nyungwe National Park of Rwanda. It is the longest river of the world.Wikipedia: Nile River Source - See Links belowThe source of the Nile is sometimes considered to be Lake Victoria, but the lake has feeder rivers of considerable size. The Kagera River, which flows into Lake Victoria near the Tanzanian town of Bukoba, is the longest feeder, although sources do not agree on which is the longest tributary of the Kagera and hence the most distant source of the Nile itself. It is either the Ruvyironza, which emerges in Bururi Province, Burundi, or the Nyabarongo, which flows from Nyungwe Forest in Rwanda. The two feeder rivers meet near Rusumo Falls on the Rwanda-Tanzania border. Recent exploration says that an exploring party went to a place described as the source of the Rukarara tributary, and by hacking a path up steep jungle-choked mountain slopes in the Nyungwe forest found (in the dry season) an appreciable incoming surface flow for many miles upstream, and found a new source, giving the Nile a length of 4199 miles (6758 kilometers)The Nile ends its journey in northern Egypt where it flows into the Mediterranean Sea.------------------------------------------The Nile River is longer than the Amazon River in South America (6,575 km or 4,086 miles).
