This paper is deeply concerns with exploring of then-present Sharing of River Nile and how the riparian regional of North Africa; especially Egypt, Ethiopia, Sudan and South Sudan became sustainable with their consumption of political, economics and how the geographical location should affect the River Nile waters: the excitement feeling of useful practice of agriculture activities along the River as well. The paper also touch about the successful benefits attributes to pathing of Blue Nile, which originating from Ethiopia highland, through Atbara to meet the White Nile, forming ‘’Jazeera Scheme’’ at the present day Khartoum….before entering Mediterranean Sea (Delta). The Regional farmers of the above countries enjoys a lot with several festival connected to the present Nile valleys in which they receding it flood to their shallow basin for intensive agricultural irrigation and animals wandering during the winter and spring.
The historical waters abundantly permit a sharp human’s civilization and believed of promptly rising up their population growth and led them creation of cities, states and empires for vividly urbanization. All these accrued to the Nile River, and have been accredited in Egyptian calendars of ritual civilization.

Zusammenfassung der Kapitel (Chapter Summaries)
Introduction: This introductory chapter sets the stage by outlining the immense geographical scope of the Nile River, highlighting its length, basin size, and the numerous riparian countries that depend on it. It emphasizes the river's transboundary nature, touching upon the diverse climatic conditions across the basin and their influence on hydrological inflow. A detailed breakdown of the Nile's main tributaries, the White Nile and the Blue Nile, including their origins and contributions to the overall flow, is presented. The chapter establishes the central theme of the paper: exploring the complex dynamics of Nile water consumption and its impact on the riparian nations, foreshadowing the challenges of equitable resource allocation and the potential for conflict.
The home of the ancient Pharaoh: This chapter focuses on the historical significance of the Nile River to Egypt, specifically its pivotal role in the development of ancient Egyptian civilization. It highlights the Nile's contribution to agriculture, population growth, and urbanization, emphasizing its deep-seated cultural and religious significance. The chapter also introduces the Egyptian perspective on Nile water control, highlighting its national security concerns and the historical context of its control over the river's resources. This section sets the stage for later discussions on the conflicting interests among riparian countries regarding Nile water allocation.
The Prospective of integrated regional development: This chapter examines the post-World War II period and the evolving perspectives on integrated regional development of the Nile Basin. It discusses the challenges posed by newly independent nations' reluctance to relinquish control over their water resources and the subsequent nullification of the 1929 agreement. The chapter also delves into the growing anxieties in Egypt concerning its access to Nile water, linking it to national security concerns and the construction of the Aswan High Dam. It explores the geopolitical tensions arising from the construction of dams by upstream countries, particularly Ethiopia's Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD), and their impact on Egypt's agricultural production and economic prosperity.
Agricultural Production: This chapter delves into the crucial role of agriculture in Nile water consumption, emphasizing its significant contribution (85%) to overall water usage. The chapter discusses the potential for hydropower development, particularly in the Blue Nile, and the associated trade-offs between water and power allocation among riparian countries. It highlights the possibility of mutually beneficial agreements, such as Ethiopia trading electricity for agricultural products with Egypt and Sudan. This section underscores the intricate interplay between water resources, energy production, and agricultural development in the Nile Basin.
