The name is usually used for the White Nile between Nimule, where it enters Sudan (as the Albert Nile), and Lake No, where it joins with the Bahr-el-Ghazal to form the Bahr-el-Abiad, also a section of the White Nile. As the river passes through the Sudd swamps it loses much of its volume through evaporation and dispersal. The river is navigable to Juba.
