       Comparing the world's rivers. 
520    The Nile is the world's longest river and the birthplace 
       of one of the greatest civilizations of the ancient world.
       This book takes readers along the "River in the Sand" as 
       it flows north from its source in central Africa to the 
       Mediterranean Sea, crossing thousands of miles of desert. 
       Ancient Egyptians depended on the Nile's annual floods to 
       deposit fertile soil for farming. The Nile also provided 
       water for irrigation and was a main transportation route. 
       Today, the Nile remains vital, with more than 70 million 
       people growing crops in the river's basin and fishing in 
       its waters. The impact on the river of the Aswan High Dam,
       population growth, and climate change is also examined.
