The White Nile is a river rising from Lake Victoria, flowing north and westwards through Uganda, via Lake Albert[?], then north to Nimule[?] where it enters Sudan. It then flows over some rapids entering the Sudan plain, through the Sudd[?] swamp area, and via Lake No[?] before meeting with the Blue Nile at Khartoum in Sudan and forming the Nile. From Lake Victoria to Khartoum, the length of the river is approximately 3700 kilometers.
