<P> The flooding of the Nile is the result of the yearly monsoon between May and August causing enormous precipitations on the Ethiopian Highlands whose summits reach heights of up to 4550 m ( 14,928 ft ) . Most of this rainwater is taken by the Blue Nile and by the Atbarah River into the Nile , a less important amount is flowing through the Sobat and the White Nile into the Nile . During this short period , those rivers contribute up to ninety percent of the water of the Nile and most of the sedimentation carried by it , but after the rainy season , dwindle to minor rivers . </P>
