Best Answer

The Nile River flooded during certain seasons. . . If the floods were bad, the water could reach the crops and damage the whole group of crops. Ancient people in Africa (huntergatherers) would dig canals to their farms if water levels of the Nile were particularly low that year. . .

This unfortunantly does not longer happen as the (Asworth?) dam went in. Farmers now have to pay a fortune in fertiliser.
