WHAT DOES VICTORIA NILE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Victoria Nile

White Nile

The White Nile is a river of Africa, one of the two main tributaries of the Nile, the other being the Blue Nile. In the strict meaning, "White Nile" refers to the river formed at Lake No at the confluence of the Bahr al Jabal and Bahr el Ghazal Rivers. In the wider sense, the term White Nile refers to the approximately 3,700 kilometres of rivers draining from Lake Victoria into the White Nile proper. It may also, depending on the speaker, refer to the headwaters of Lake Victoria. The 19th century search by Europeans for the source of the Nile was mainly focused on the White Nile, which disappeared into the depths of what was then known as 'Darkest Africa'. The White Nile's true source was not discovered until 1937, when the German explorer Dr. Burkhart Waldecker traced it to a stream in Rutovu at the base of Mount Kikizi. When in flood the Sobat tributary carries a large amount of sediment, adding greatly to the White Nile's color. A map showing the White Nile and the Blue Nile in East Africa.
