The Blue Nile [note 1] is a river originating at Lake Tana in Ethiopia.It travels for approximately 1,450 km (900 mi) through Ethiopia and Sudan.Along with the White Nile, it is one of the two major tributaries of the Nile and supplies about 85.6% of the water to the Nile during the rainy season.
The Blue Nile connected to the main Nile during the 70,000–80,000 years B.P. wet period. The White Nile system in Bahr El Arab and White Nile Rifts remained a closed lake until the connection of the Victoria Nile to the main system some 12,500 years ago during the African humid period.
