The Blue Nile River

The Blue Nile River starts in Ethiopia and confluences with the White Nile River in Sudan to form the Nile River.  The Nile River is the longest river in the world.  The Blue Nile starts in the highlands of Ethiopia and courses through deep gorges and canyons, open country and passes by many small and larger groups of people living along the river.  This river is home to the Nile Crocodile and Hippopotamus both of which can pursue humans as prey.  The Grand Renaissance Ethiopian Dam was recently completed and is now filling with water from the Blue Nile.  This will inundate much of the river upstream of this dam, change the flows, the nature of the river corridor and the land where many people live.  In 1987 Steve Stahl was 21 years old when he floated the Blue Nile.  in 2019 he came back to see the river again that will soon be underwater.  In this show, he tells of the river and the people that he encounters.  And he explains the Croc rocks.
