Prior to the unification of Egypt, there were two regions: Lower and Upper Egypt. These regions were made up of nomos, which were nothing more than divisions of government. Each nomo possessed his chief deity and worshiped thousands of gods, had his leaders, his temples, his priests, and was very organized.
To make better use of the waters of the Nile River, the nomos had to collaborate mutually to build irrigation canals that would ensure effective agriculture. Over the years, these alliances began to become an "internal mini-unification," which later resulted in the formation of the unified Egyptian state.

Water resources in the region are scarce, and these issues directly affect the five political subdivisions (Israel, the West Bank, Lebanon, Syria and Jordan) located within and bordering the basin, which were created since the collapse, during World War I, of the former single controlling entity, the Ottoman Empire. Because of the scarcity of water and a unique political context, issues of both supply and usage outside the physical limits of the basin have been included historically.

As an interesting fact, despite senator Thurmond's fierce opposition, The Civil Rights Act of 1957 was still passed by the US Congress and was signed by President Dwight D. Eisenhower.
