The Nile was also an important part of ancient Egyptian spiritual life. In the Ancient Egyptian religion, Hapi was the god of the Nile and the annual flooding of it. Both he and the pharaoh were thought to control the flooding. The annual flooding of the Nile occasionally was said to be the Arrival of Hapi. [3]
Floods in South Sudan are a frequent occurrence, with the country's location in the Nile River Basin and its low-lying topography making it highly vulnerable to floods. Floods in South Sudan have been recorded since the 1960s, and their impacts have become increasingly severe in recent years due to climate change and poor drainage ...
The Zikuli, also called Gereb Awhi or Mennewe River, is a river of the Nile basin. Rising in the mountains of Dogu’a Tembien in northern Ethiopia, it flows southward to empty finally in the Giba and Tekezé River. [1] The river in the radial drainage network of Dogu’a Tembien Upper Zikuli catchment
These are related to the steep topography, often little vegetation cover and intense convective rainfall. The peaks of such flash floods have often a 50 to 100 times larger discharge than the preceding baseflow. [2] Affluent to May Selelo at Adenna. The magnitude of floods in this river has however decreased due to interventions in the catchment.
The Qortem Zer’a is a river of the Nile basin. Rising in the mountains of Dogu’a Tembien in northern Ethiopia, it flows westward to empty finally in the Weri’i and Tekezé River. [1] The river in the radial drainage network of Dogu’a Tembien 1936 high-oblique photo over Qortem Zer'a catchment
Floods caused by torrential monsoon rains mostly outside the country in neighbouring Ethiopia raised the Nile River by 17.5 metres (57 ft) in late August, the highest level it has reached in nearly a century, according to the Sudanese Ministry of Irrigation. [6] For the first time in history, the Pyramids of Meroë were threatened by flooding. [7]
The Tsech'i is a river of the Nile basin. Rising in the mountains of Dogu’a Tembien in northern Ethiopia, it flows westward to empty finally in Giba and Tekezé River. [1] The river in the radial drainage network of Dogu’a Tembien
The magnitude of floods in this river has however been decreased due to interventions in the catchment. At Afedena, exclosures have been established; the dense vegetation largely contributes to enhanced infiltration, less flooding and better baseflow. [3] Physical conservation structures such as stone bunds [4] [5] and check dams also intercept ...
