Technical & Navigational data on the
River Nile
• The flow rate of the river in Egypt ranges from a
minimum of 60,000,000 m3 /day to 120,000,000
m3/day. In summer, at the high dam lake, the flow is
240,000,000m3 /day.

• As a matter of fact, the annual discharge of the Nile at
Sudan is 84,000 x 106m3 /year.
• The Egyptian share of this amount, according to
various treaties and agreements, is 55,500 x 106m3
/year (1959 agreement).
• Sudan share is 18,500x106m3/year.
• Loss due to evaporation is 10,000x106m3/year.

• Generally the maximum allowable draft is 1.5m
except at the Nubaria canal it is 1.6m. As a matter of
fact, within the area of Beniswef at certain times of
the year, the allowable draft could be as low as 1.2m.

• There are many barrages to control the water level for
irrigation purposes.
• At every barrage there is a lock to allow the
navigation with such difference in water level before
and after the barrage.

• The locks in Nubaria are 110 x 16m, allowing a
convoy of 102 x 15m. The locks in upper Egypt are
80 x 16m allowing a convoy of
72 x 15m. , and some new locks are 160 x17m. (e.g.
Esna).

• There are many fixed bridges all along the Nile, and
the allowable air draft for ships is 10.5 – 11m from
south of Cairo down to Aswan.
• However, within the Cairo area, Kasr EL Nile bridge
restricts the air draft to 3.75m.
• Also, at the entrance of the Nubaria Canal from the
port of Alexandria, the maximum air draft is about
5.5 m.
