What is similar between Ancient China and Ancient Egypt in flooding ways?

Ancient China & Ancient Egypt were both river civilizations that faced the challenge of flooding of their nearby rivers. In China For thousands of years, the Chinese people have suffered from the flooding of the two great rivers that flow through their land, the Chang Jiang (Yangtze) and the Huang He (Yellow) Rivers. Taming the rivers was one of the chief goals of early Chinese civilization. The story of Yu, one of several Chinese flood myths, celebrates a victory in the long struggle against floods. In Egypt, the Nile flood occurred during the same season each year. Both civilizations responded to the flooding ways, the two groups were similar because they created irrigation systems and they both asked their gods for help. Flooding is still a challenge for some people still living near rivers. The Grand Canyon River flood in 2008 was one of many examples and it caused a lot of damage in Phoenix, Arizona. First of all, both civilizations responded to the challenge of flooding by creating irrigation systems. To begin with, Ancient Egyptians used methods in response to the flooding of the Nile. "Egyptian farmers dug basins, bowl shaped holes to trap the floodwaters dug canals to carry water to the fields beyond the rivers reach (Spielvogel 41). In addition Egyptian farmers built dikes to strengthen the walls of the basins (Spielvogel 41). To lift water from the basins into the ditches, farmers used shadofs to make the job easier (Brewton gods) Irrigation is pivotal to agriculture. There are lots of world-famous irrigation projects built in ancient China. These projects are known not only for their large scale, but also for their good design. Ancient China also built large levee systems. Second of all, both civilizations responded to the flooding by asking their gods for help. Ancient China used oracle bones to pray to their Gods for help in the flooding issue. The people of ancient Egypt responded in similar ways to flooding by asking their gods for help.
