What agreements exist to allocate the water from the Nile River?

The main agreement concerning the allocation of water from the Nile River is the 1959 Nile Waters Agreement between Egypt and Sudan. This agreement primarily allocates water rights to Egypt, while Sudan receives a fixed amount of water. Other Nile Basin countries, including Ethiopia, have not been part of this agreement and have pursued their own arrangements for sharing water resources. Efforts are underway to establish a more inclusive and cooperative framework through the Nile Basin Initiative.

What changes would you see If you were traveling down the Nile to the delta?

As you travel down the Nile to the delta, you would notice the landscape transforming from arid desert to lush greenery due to the fertile soil deposits. The river would widen and become more navigable, with an increase in plant and animal biodiversity. You may also observe more human settlements and agricultural activity closer to the delta region.


What are the two sections of Egypt?

Egypt is traditionally divided into two sections: Upper Egypt in the south and Lower Egypt in the north. The division is based on the flow of the Nile River, with "upper" referring to areas further upstream and "lower" to areas downstream. These historical divisions have shaped the cultural and geographical landscape of Egypt.
