Farming was only possible in Egypt in the flood plains of the Nile river. Every year the Nile floods, carrying nutrient-rich silt over the flood plains and fertilizing the fields on both sides of the river. Water flowing through the Nile is fresh and was used for irrigation on the fields. Away from the water of the Nile River, Egypt has a desert climate and farming is either subsistence or impossible.
