Factors influencing the type of feeding of the Nile River.

The Nile River receives water from several sources. Some of them saturate the river all year round, like equatorial rains, to the zones of which the Nile tributary, called the White Nile, reaches. Another tributary, the Blue Nile, draws its waters from tropical zones, where heavy monsoon rains have created a network of tectonic lakes. The water from the rains collects in the earth’s cracks, and the river is fed by their water. Also, water flows into the Nile from melting snow in the Ethiopian mountains. The level of the river rises with the monsoons.
