Yes, for example - 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. Also reeds, called papyrus, grew along side the Nile. The Egyptians made paper and boats from the reeds. They also used it for fishing and transport.
