Abstract
The quickly changing environment of the African countries necessitates reforms in common resources shared by many of continent's countries. Fresh water is one of the most important economic issues in the third millennia. The legendary and romantic River Nile's water is one of those issues. The current paper discusses some of those issues and concludes that collective work and actions are direly required by the River Nile riparian countries.
