Aswan Dam The Aswan High Dam, built on the Nile River, is one of the seven largest dams in the world. It crosses the water of the Nile River, and the high gorge exits the Ping Lake. The high dam is 3,830 meters long and 111 meters high.
In 1960, with the aid of the former Soviet Union, construction started, completed in 1971, lasted more than 10 years, cost about 1 billion US dollars, and used 43 million cubic meters of building materials, equivalent to 17 times the size of the Great Pyramid, is a comprehensive utilization project of irrigation, shipping and power generation. After the dam was completed, an artificial lake surrounded by mountains was formed to the south. Aswan Reservoir.
With a length of more than 500 kilometers, an average width of 10 kilometers and an area of 5,000 square kilometers, the lake is the second largest artificial lake in the world, and the depth and water storage capacity are the first in the world. Ground was broken on the Aswan Dam in 1960, the dam was closed five years later, and the Aswan Dam was completed in 1967. This dam was the largest high dam project in the world at that time, it was 112 meters high and 5 kilometers long, cutting the Nile River at the waist, forming a huge reservoir 650 kilometers long and 25 kilometers wide in Lake Nasser.

Both the Seine and the Nile have large variations in water levels, but which varies more depends on different time periods and influencing factors. Here's some information about the changes in water levels in these two rivers:
Seine: The Seine is the longest river in France, flowing through several provinces in northern France and central France. The water level of the Seine is affected by seasonal rainfall, snowmelt and groundwater, showing significant changes.
In autumn and winter, the water level of the Seine is usually low, while in spring and summer, the water level rises. In addition, due to the effects of climate change and human activities, the water level of the Seine is also likely to change significantly.
Nile: The Nile is the longest river in Africa and one of the longest in the world. The Nile is fed mainly by Lake Victoria and other lakes upstream, as well as rainfall and groundwater along the coast.
The water level of the Nile is also affected by seasonality, with higher rainfall in the summer and lower in the winter. In addition, due to the impact of climate change and human activities, the water level of the Nile River is also likely to change significantly.

The magnitude of the water level changes of the Seine and Nile rivers is not easy to compare with their geographical location and hydrological conditions. Here's a brief look at the two rivers:
Seine: The Seine River originates in central France, flows through the city of Paris, and eventually empties into the English Channel in northern France. The water level of the Seine River is affected by various factors such as seasons, rainfall, tides, etc., and the water level varies greatly.
During the dry season, the water level is lower, while during the rainy season or when the tides are high, the water level is higher. Among them, the influence of the tides is very great, and there are two daily tidal rises and falls between 2-4 meters near the city of Paris.
Nile River: The Nile River is the longest river in Africa, originating in the eastern African plateau and passing through several countries before finally emptying into the Mediterranean Sea in northern Egypt. The water level of the Nile River is affected by seasonal rainfall, and the water level changes significantly.
Under normal circumstances, the rainy season is from June to October every year, and the water level is high; The rest of the months are dry and the water level is low.
In general, the water levels of both the Seine and the Nile vary greatly, but the exact size is related to different factors and cannot be simply compared.

The Nile River is the longest river in the world, originating in the Burundi Plateau in northeast Africa, and flowing through nine countries, including Rwanda, Burundi, Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda, Zaire, Sudan, Ethiopia and Egypt, with a total length of more than 6,600 kilometers. It eventually flows into the Mediterranean Sea and is one of the world's largest international rivers flowing through the country.
Because the middle and lower reaches of the Nile have been inhabited for a long time, but due to the barrier of waterfalls, people in the middle and lower reaches of the Nile think that it is impossible to understand the source of the river, hence the name Nile. The second is that the word "Nile" evolved from the name of the ancient Egyptian pharaoh (king) Nilus.
The Nile is formed by the confluence of three rivers: the Kagera, the White Nile, and the Blue Nile. The lower Nile valley is one of the earliest cradles of human civilization, where ancient Egypt was born. Today, 96% of Egypt's population and the vast majority of industrial and agricultural production are concentrated here.
As a result, the Nile is seen as the lifeline of Egypt.
For thousands of years, the Nile River has been flooding regularly every year from June to October. When the river was at its highest in August, it flooded large fields on both sides of the riverbank, after which people moved to higher places. After October, the floodwaters subsided, bringing with them the rich soil of the Nile.
On these fertile soils, people cultivated crops such as cotton, wheat, rice, dates, etc. A green corridor has been formed over the arid desert area. And Egypt, an ancient civilization of 5,000 years, created a glorious Egyptian culture here.
Today, more than 90% of Egypt's population is located in the Nile plains and deltas. The Egyptians called the Nile their mother of life.
The Nile runs through the northeastern part of the African continent, flows through Burundi, Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda, Ethiopia, Sudan, Egypt, crosses the Sahara Desert, the world's largest area, and finally empties into the Mediterranean. The basin covers an area of about 3.35 million square kilometers, accounting for one-ninth of the African continent, with a total length of 6,650 kilometers and an average annual flow of 3,100 cubic meters per second, making it the longest river in the world. Nile River – Arabic for "great river".
Nile, Nile, Changbi Tianhe", is the proverb of the Sudanese people praising the Nile.

The river water mainly comes from melting snow and ice in the mountains and a small amount of rainwater. The flood season is formed in spring and summer, and the water volume varies greatly from season to season. The climate of the flow area is cold, and the rivers are frozen; Most of the river flows northward, and the river has flooding. The Yenisei River is the largest river in Russia and one of the world's largest rivers. It is located in the north of Asia, on the west side of the Central Siberian Plateau.
The water of the rivers mainly comes from the melting water of high mountains and high history, ice and snow, and a small amount of rainwater; The flood season is formed in spring and summer, and the water volume varies greatly from season to season. The climate in the flow area is cold, and there is a freezing phenomenon in the flow of the river; Most of the river flows northward, and the river has flooding.
