The Nile is the longest river in the world, with a length of about 6,650 km. It is located in Northeast Africa. It has two main sources

1. Lake Victoria

   It is the second largest freshwater lake in the world and the largest in Africa. The lake is located in Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania. The Nile receives most of its water from Lake Victoria and is known as the "White Nile".

2. Lake Tana

   It is the largest lake in Ethiopia and the second source of water for the Nile. Here the seasonal rains fall and accumulate in Lake Tana, after which it joins the Nile and is called the "Blue Nile".

Important places along the Nile route

1. White Nile

   The White Nile travels a long distance. It originates from Lake Victoria and passes through various lakes and plains

2. Blue Nile

   The Blue Nile originates from Lake Tana and flows through the land of Ethiopia to join various rivers and then joins the White Nile at Khartoum.

3. River Nile

   The Nile travels north, reaching Aswan in southern Egypt, where the Aswan Dam is built. The Nile passes through various cities and at Cairo it splits into two branches, the Damietta and Rashid rivers.

دریائے نیل کے بارے میں معلومات

نیل دنیا کا سب سے طویل دریا ہے، جس کی لمبائی تقریباً 6,650 کلومیٹر ہے۔ یہ شمال مشرقی افریقہ میں واقع ہے۔ اس کے دو اہم منبع ہیں

۔1. جھیل وکٹوریہ

   یہ دنیا کی دوسری سب سے بڑی میٹھے پانی کی جھیل ہے اور افریقہ کی سب سے بڑی ہے۔ یہ جھیل کینیا، یوگنڈا، اور تنزانیہ میں واقع ہے۔ دریائے نیل کی زیادہ تر پانی جھیل وکٹوریہ سے حاصل ہوتی ہے اور اسے "سفید نیل" کہا جاتا ہے۔

۔2. جھیل تانا

   یہ ایتھوپیا کی سب سے بڑی جھیل ہے اور نیل کے پانی کا دوسرا منبع ہے۔ یہاں موسمی بارشیں اترتی ہیں اور جھیل تانا میں جمع ہو جاتی ہیں، جس کے بعد یہ نیل میں شامل ہو کر "نیلا نیل" کہلاتی ہیں۔

نیل کے راستے میں اہم مقامات

۔1.سفید نیل

   سفید نیل ایک لمبے فاصلے تک سفر کرتا ہے۔ یہ جھیل وکٹوریہ سے نکل کر مختلف جھیلوں اور میدانوں سے گزرتا ہے

۔2. نیلا نیل

   نیلا نیل جھیل تانا سے نکلتا ہے اور ایتھوپیا کی سرزمین سے گزر کر مختلف ندیوں سے ملتا ہے اور پھر خرطوم میں سفید نیل سے مل جاتا ہے

۔3. دریائے نیل

   نیل شمال کی طرف سفر کرتا ہے، جنوبی مصر میں اسوان پہنچتا ہے، جہاں اسوان ڈیم بنایا گیا ہے۔ نیل مختلف شہروں سے گزرتا ہے اور قاہرہ میں دو شاخوں میں تقسیم ہو جاتا ہے، دمياط اور رشید نامی دریاؤں میں۔

اہم ڈیم

خزان جبل اولیاء (1937): جنوب خرطوم میں واقع

liquid water discovered on Mars

liquid water discovered on Mars This is the first clear evidence of liquid water, not just frozen ice, discovered on Mars. A groundbreaking discovery published in Science has confirmed that Mars once had liquid water, offering new insights into the planet’s climate and potential for supporting life.  Researchers analyzing data from NASA’s Curiosity rover identified ancient "wave ripples" in rocks at the Gale Crater region, dating back 3.7 billion years. These ripples, formed by wind and water, indicate the presence of a shallow, open-air lake about 2 meters (6.5 feet) deep.  The discovery highlights a time when Mars had a warmer climate and a thicker atmosphere capable of sustaining liquid water — a critical ingredient for life as we know it. This revelation has far-reaching implications for understanding Mars' habitability and planning future missions.  The presence of liquid water raises the possibility that microbial life once thrived on the planet. Additionally, remna...
