	River delta - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		At the final course of a river, when it enters the sea, it mixes with the surrounding water, and its velocity of flow is checked, causing it to deposit its load of gravel, sand, silt and clay.
		A delta is the mouth of a river where it flows into an ocean, sea, or lake, building outwards (as a deltaic deposit) from sediment carried by the river and deposited as the water current is dissipated.
		Other rivers with notable deltas include the Ganges/Brahmaputra combination (this delta spans most of Bangladesh), the Niger, the Amazon, the Mississippi, the Sacramento-San Joaquin, the Rhine, the Rhône, the Danube, the Ebro, the Volga, the Lena, the Tigris-Euphrates, the Indus, the Krishna-Godavari, the Kaveri, the Irrawaddy, and the Mekong.

	Nile - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In particular, the farthest headstream of the Nile is the Ruvyironza River in Burundi, which is an upper branch of the Kagera River.
		The Nile (iteru in Ancient Egyptian) was the lifeline of the ancient Egyptian civilization, with most of the population and all of the cities of Egypt resting along those parts of the Nile valley lying north of Aswan.
		The Nile in Sudan is distinctive for two reasons: 1) it flows over 6 groups of cataracts, from the first at Aswan to the sixth at Sabaloka (just north of Khartoum); and 2) it reverses course for much of its course, flowing back to the SW before returning to flow north again to the sea.

		The Nile, and then we talk about the river when defined as starting with the Kyaka river in Burundi, is 6,671 km long, and has a surface area of a total of 3,350,000 km² (5 times the area of France).

		The third contributor is the River Atbara, which joins the main course of the Nile 300 km north of Khartoum.
