TL;DR: In this paper, the locational structure of man's economic, political, and cultural activities is not in a static state, and the manner by which the spatial arrangement of men's establishments change over time is discussed.
Abstract: OST scholars in geography and related social sciences have recognized that the locational structure of man’s economic, political and cultural activities is not in a static state. Yet very little attempt has been made to conceptualize the manner by which the spatial arrangement of man’s establishments change over time. This study seeks to provide at least a partial solution for meeting this need. ( 1 )

TL;DR: The Nile consists of two tributaries, the Blue Nile and the White Nile as mentioned in this paper, which are the main sources of flooding in the south and the north of Africa, respectively.
Abstract: The Nile consists of two tributaries. The White Nile starts near Lake Victoria and flows through steep canyons and mountainous landscapes of tropical Africa. The Blue Nile begins its journey on a high plateau in Ethiopia. It is shorter but carries more water and flows much faster than the White Nile. It also brings along fertile mud and causes most of the flooding in the north. The rivers got their names from the water that they carry with them. The Blue Nile starts out as a bright blue stream and turns black as it takes sediment with it. The White Nile carries whitish grey sediments from the tropical regions.
