How did Egypt's geography affect farming methods?

The fertile land is Egypt is along the Nile Vally and the Nile delta - this is the Geography. The Nile flooded each year (it no longer does so because of the Aswan Dam) and this flood deposited rich mud in the fields and delta. This mud was fertile and used to grow wheat (as described in the bible) and raise cattle. Farming methods included the digging of irrigation channels and using animal powered means of raising the irrigation water. The farming methods of the past are similar to those seen today in the more rural areas.
