The River Nile flooded every year between June and September, in a season the Egyptians called akhet - the inundation
This was caused by heavy summer rain in the Ethiopian highlands that 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.
