Some people disagree about where the river starts, but now people have reached an agreement. The Nile makes the land suitable for the plants’ growth. This is why the ancient people lived there. The VolgaThis river is the longest river in Europe and is about 2,294 miles long. The Volga is so wide that you can’t see the other side! However, the river is polluted because factories pour waste into it. That makes it hard for people there to make a living. The DanubeThis is the second longest river in Europe. It is about 1,770 miles long and it runs from the Black Forest Mountains in Germany to the Black Sea.
