The living basin
A river is an ecosystem before it is a resource. Nilezon covers the environmental Nile — the Sudd wetlands, sediment budgets, evaporation losses, and the climate models that will shape every flow forecast for the century ahead.
Why it matters
Climate projections and sediment dynamics change the ground under every treaty and every dam. Reporting what the models actually say — with their uncertainty intact — matters more than any single alarming or reassuring headline.
What we cover
- Climate signals — what basin-scale models agree on, and where they diverge
- The Sudd and the wetlands — evaporation, ecology and the White Nile's losses
- Sediment and soil — the fertility the river carries and the dams that hold it back
