The+Nile+River

The Nile River, 4,160 miles flowing north is the longest river in the world. The Nile is a key asset to many people in Africa. Many people live by it because it provides food, water, and transportation. There are some downfalls living by the Nile though. Sometimes in rainy season the Nile may wash away nutrients in the soil.
