Where is a floodplain formed?
A floodplain is the land that is covered by water when a river overflows it's banks. When this happens, silt and clay are deposited over time and the land on either side of the river flattens out. Any depressions in the land will hold water when the river level returns to normal after flooding and therefore more clay and silt will be deposited there filling it up.

What is silt made up of in Egypt?
Nile silt is made from extremely small particles of sand that are brought down by the river and deposited along the river banks. The soil is very high in minerals and is used for farming as well as producing bricks along the banks of the river. When wet the silt (or clay) is extremely sticky very similar to wet bread dough and can hold a large amount of water. When dry the silt bakes hard and cracks as the water evaporates (it can shrink by as much as 40% of its wet volume).
What add water and silt to main rivers?
