Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The Nile, a 6671 km long river, drains a gigantic catchment area (space formed by the river and its tributaries) of 2.8 million km², five times the size of France, divided between ten countries. We have chosen to focus on Egypt, on the one hand because it is the only Nilotic country considered as belonging to the "Middle East", on the other hand, because it is in Egypt that the issues surrounding the Nile are the strongest: the river is quite simply vital for this country located in an arid zone.
