Abstract

In light of the Nile River's importance to Egypt, this
study was started to explore the river's flow and
sediment in an analytical manner. The goal of this
research is to look into the morphological changes
in the Nile River. The Nile River is subjected to
erosion and sedimentation at various points due to
its natural geomorphology. Within the fourth
stretch, it was focused on two regions. Upstream
and downstream of the El-Menia bridge were the
first. Upstream and downstream of the BaniSuefbridge were the second. Along the research
region, 70 cross-sections from 1982 were compared
to 2002. In addition, the same cross-sections from
2002 and 2004 were compared along the same area.
During these times, the deposition and scour were
calculated. In the first location, erosion happened
more frequently than deposition, according to the
comparison. In the second area, on the other hand,
the comparison revealed that deposition was more
common than erosion.
