You can easily see the two different colors of the water coming from the two Niles, meeting just outside Khartoum. The White Nile, coming from southwest is more slow running and broader, the Blue Nile, coming from the southeast is more narrow and faster. In this picture, the White Nile provides the blue water, while the Blue Nile is more muddy and red. The two rivers become one, but the water does not mix until some distance into the Greater Nile, giving this spectacular view of a two colored river.
