The Nile River is very important and without it Egypt would be a desert. It is used for transporting goods and it would be harder to get goods to these countries that rely on the Nile RIver.
The Nile River is the only source of drinking water Egypt has. However, if it dries up, transported water from other places would keep Egypt alive. The main problem is how a major source of food would be gone; no more fish, and no more damp fertilizer for crops.
