Talk:Sudd

Deaths in the Sudd
John Goddard discusses persons trapped in the Sudd who died before they could escape or be rescued (including the captain and 22 passengers and crew men of a steamer in 1936). (Kayaks Down the Nile, pp. 127-130). It is unclear why the 1936 catastrophe could not have been averted by locating the steamer from the air and directing rescue personnel. According to Beryl Markham, aircraft were in the area in 1936 (West with the Night). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.89.192.125 (talk • contribs) 04:13, 6 July 2008

Cleanup to-do
--Lendorien (talk) 14:08, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Expanded intro needed
 * Text edits to normalize text. Some of the phrasing is a bit odd.
 * Copyright checking. Not sure if this was original research or copied from somewhere.
 * Intext citations needed.
 * Wikification here and there.


 * A word about elevation might be added to Location or Geology. --AHert (talk) 14:00, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

Water source for the Sudd and the Jonglei Canal
The original article claims that the Nile is the main water source for the Sudd and that therefore the Jonglei Canal is a good idea. Apparently more recent studies have shown the contrary to be true and that much of the water originates from the Ethiopian Highlands.

It would seem that the article is incorrect and that not highlighting the potential evironmental damage of the canal for no real gain is problematic. I'm tempted to edit the article myself, but do not consider myself an expert on the subject, so shall leave it for the time being. Jamesandrews (talk) 13:33, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

In Arabic Bahr is any large body of water....
...as in Bahr an-Nil, the river Nile, or Bahr al-Ahmar, the Red Sea. In the case of Bahr al-Ghazal, Bahr al-Zeraf, and Bahr al-Jabal, the proper translation is obviously "river". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.22.52.194 (talk) 20:18, 13 November 2019 (UTC)

West Africa?
"In 2019, a study suggested that increased water flows into the Sudd may be partly causing up to a third of the whole West African rise in atmospheric methane levels over the previous decade." WEST African?
