445 Javier Del Valle Melendo Water as a strategic resource... The basin is shared between eleven countries, including South Sudan. The key to the volume of flow of the Nile, which crosses the Sahara lengthwise, lies in its two main sources of water: lakes Victoria and Albert, the primary feeder rivers (known as the White Nile) and the mountains of Ethiopia, which experience abundant rainfall during the rain season, where the Blue Nile forms, which is further fed by Lake Tana (figure 10). Without a doubt, the countries that most benefit from the Nile’s waters are Sudan and, most especially, Egypt, where there is hardly any rainfall (very little in Sudan) and where evaporation is even higher than precipitation.
