The White Nile ( Bahr el-Abiad ) is a junction of the the Nile.

There exist three different sources, located at the north of the Lac Tanganyika, which meet quickly before converging towards the Lake Victoria. One of it is located in the forest of Nyungwe, with the Rwanda. The river takes besides the name of the Nile Victoria at the exit of this last and until the Lac Albert, at the exit of which it is sometimes called the Nile Albert .

The White Nile young person progresses like a snake in grasses downstream from the Victoria big lakes and Albert and divides, in the south of Sudan, in an inextricable marshy network that the explorers called the Styx .

The White Nile sprinkles 7 countries: it crosses the Burundi, the Rwanda, the Tanzania, the Uganda and the Sudan, where it joined the Blue Nile with Khartoum to form the Nile, and it also skirts the Kenya via Lake Victoria and the Democratic republic of Congo thanks to the lake Albert.
