The Blue Nile
The Blue Nile is the other river that forms the Nile. It starts with a bright blue colour in it’s waters but later, when it comes near Sudan the darker sediment it carries changes the shade of blue, making it darker. The Blue Nile transports two thirds of the water that flows into the Nile, even though it is shorter than the White Nile.It originates at Lake Tana, in Ethipia.
This is Lake Tana, where it flows into the Blue Nile.
