	Atbarah River - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Atbarah River (Arabic: نهر عطبرة; transliterated: Nahr 'Atbarah) in northeast Africa rises in northwest Ethiopia, approximately 50 km north of Lake Tana and 30 km west of Gondar.
		Its tributary, the Tekezé River (Amharic: "Terrible"), is perhaps the true upper course of the Atbarah, as the Tekezé follows the longer course prior to the confluence of the two rivers (at 14° 10' N., 36° E) in northeastern Sudan.
		A major battle was fought beside the river in April 1898 between forces of the Khalifa of Sudan and the British Empire, which resulted in the Khalifa's 20,000-strong detachment being destroyed by the British.

		The region of the Gedaref basin and the river Atbara is unconformably composed of the Pan-African Basement Complex, which is overlain by the Cretaceous Nubian Sandstone Formation.
		The Atbara Alluvium receives 1.06 x 109 m3/years of rainfall, of which 0.93 x 109 m3/years is consumed by evapotranspiration and 1.6 x 106 m3/years by abstraction, whereas river Atbara brings an average of 13.4 x 109 m3/years from the Ethiopian Highlands.
		The average concentration of F- in the water of the river and its alluvium is 0.52 mg/l compared to 1.65 mg/l in the Gedaref basin.

	The River War - An Account of the Reconquest of the Sudan (1902) By Winston S . Churchill- Chapter 12 from Nalanda ...
		The distance from the river bank to the open plain was perhaps a mile and a half, and the whole infantry force had cleared the scrub by six o'clock.
		A few gazelle, intercepted on their way to the water by the unexpected movement of troops, trotted slowly away in the distance-- white spots on the rosy-brown of the sand--and on the great plain 12,000 infantry, conscious of their strength and eager to encounter the enemy, were beautifully arranged in four solid masses.
		From among this rose the palm-trees, between whose stems the dry bed of the Atbara was exposed, and a single pool of water gleamed in the early sunlight.

	Adventures of Sudan: Atbara
		In the fighting between the Sudanese and the British occupants, the battle of 1898 in Atbara was a turning point.
		Atbara is situated on the point where the river Atbara meets the Nile, on the northern side of Atbara, and eastern of the Nile.
		The river Atbara has low water during long seasons each year, this much due to not too clever containment policy, as well as the rain situation up in the Ethiopian mountains.

		The Ishango bone, possibly the earliest known indication of Ancient Egyptian multiplication, was discovered along the headwaters of the Nile River (near Lake Edward, in northeastern Congo), and was carbon-dated to 20,000 BC.
		The flow of the river is disturbed at several points by cataracts, which are sections of faster-flowing water with many small islands, shallow water, and rocks, forming an obstacle to navigation by boats.
		The first cataract, the closest to the mouth of the river, is at Aswan to the north of the Aswan Dams.

		In spite of the devoted efforts of the few medical officers who had been allowed to accompany the force, the wounded officers and soldiers endured the greatest miseries, and it is certain that several died of their wounds who might in happier circumstances have been saved.
		Communications with the Atbara encampment and with Cairo were dropped, and the army carried with them in their boats sufficient supplies to last until after the capture of Omdurman, when the British division would be immediately sent back.
		It was calculated that the scope of this operation would not be greater than three weeks, and on the 27th the army were equipped with twenty-one days' supplies, of which two were carried by the troops, five by the regimental barges, and fourteen in the army transport sailing-vessels.

		These rivers, although streams of extreme grandeur during the period of the Abyssinian rains, from the middle of June until September, are reduced during the dry months to utter insignificance; the Blue Nile becoming so shallow as to be unnavigable, and the Atbara perfectly dry.
		The margin of the river was miserable and uninviting; the trees and bushes were entirely leafless from the intense heat, as are the trees in England during winter.
		This portion of the Atbara was about 500 yards in width, the banks were about thirty feet perpendicular depth; and the bend of the river had caused the formation of the deep hollow on the opposite side which now formed the pool, while every other part was dry.

	Unique Facts Africa-The Nile
		The Nile is usually considered the longest river in the world, but whether the Nile is actually longer than South America's Amazon still remains the subject of much debate.
		This is, for the most part, due to two reasons: first, the lengths of rivers vary over time (especially in plains, where rivers often change course), and, second, the point from which the length of a river is measured is not always agreed upon.
		In particular, the farthest headstream of the Nile is the Ruvyironza River in Burundi, which is an upper branch of the Kagera River.

		As the rainy season coincides with, though is slightly shorter than, the flood seasons of the rivers, there is land of water and mud for half of the year and, away from the rivers, land of desert-like dryness for the other half.
