The particular uses of cumulative residuals are demonstrated by two plots of annual Nile discharge at Aswan. It is shown that the mean regime of the Nile changed abruptly in 1898 in conformance with secular rainfall changes throughout most of the tropics. No trend is apparent in the two periods before and after 1898.
