Every year, heavy summer rain in the Ethiopian highlands, sent a torrent of water that overflowed the banks of the Nile. When the floods went down it left thick rich mud (black silt) which was excellent soil to plant in. c) they devised an innovative irrigation system, which created a surplus of food.
They take the advantage because in the sprring flooding, the river flood regulary leaving behind rich soil.
Early Egyptian farmer created the first form of farming irrigation by creating trenches and paths from the flooded river Nile to water their crops. Especially helpful during periods of no rain in the area as it would still rain at the Nile's source and cause flooding.
The Nile River carried fertile soil from Africa and each year deposited it in the Nile Valley when it overflowed making the land area viable for farming.
The Egyptians took advantage of the yearly spring flooding because the Nile river left behind very fertile soil
After the flooding of the Nile stopped the Peasants( farmers) would plow the soil and then plant seeds in the soil to make crops and stuff. Also when the Nile flooded its banks the papyrus plant would grow on the banks providing paper and food. The Nile help water the soil so the Egyptian could use it for their own uses.
When the Nile flooded, it brought new soil and nutrients to the soil. This is when the Egyptians would plant their crops.

Ancient Egyptians called the Nile the Black Nile since at high flood levels there was a high level of sediment picked up as it flowed to the Mediterranean.
They kept a record of it and depended on the flooding.
The egyptians blocked the River Nile so the banks would flood, providing fertile land for farming.In addition the dams are a source of hydroelectricity.
