The Nile River
Description
The Nile River in Africa has supplied precious water to human civilizations for thousands of years. Water is an important issue in northern Africa since very dry land covers most of the region. In fact, the Nile River cuts right through the largest desert in the world, the Sahara. Along the banks of the Nile, however, life is possible. The Nile brings drinking water to people. It allows farmers to raise crops. People fish in the Nile's waters. The river provides a transportation channel so people can travel on boats. Thousands of years ago. Ancient Egyptians used the same river for identical reasons. Not surprisingly, people often refer to the Nile as "the River of Life."
