CRAP !!
It's true that the Nile is the world's longest river, but it's not even close to the river that has the largest flow.
The Amazon, although second in length to the Nile, at any one point in time has the highest amount of water flowing down it. No other river even comes close. It may not be the longest, but it is the widest. The Amazon produces almost 20 percent of all the water that the world's rivers pour into the oceans on its own.
The Amazon collects water from just over 40 percent of South America's Landmass, through the thousands of tributaries that join the main branch of the Amazon river. Of these tributaries, 17 are over 1600(1000 miles) kilometers long.
The first European found the Amazon because he was 200 miles out to sea and noticed that he was sailing in fresh water. He turned toward shore and found the Amazon river.
