There are several dams on the River Nile, the Aswan High Dam is probably the best known.
Yes. The Nile River, like most rivers can flood. The ancient Egyptians lived close to the river and used its periodic flooding to help their crops.
Why did the Egyptians put together a calander????????
Egyptians often planed their crop growing cycle to coincide with the flooding of the Nile river. They used it to their advantage as much as possible, however sometimes it caused problems by flooding villages and grazing fields. So the Egyptians were usually affected in a positive way by the flooding of the Nile because they planned themselves around it.
They used it to their advantage because it watered their crops :)

the nile rivers floooding patterns are once every year round march the egyptoins used to rely on this for there crops to keep them watered and moist.
They dug canals to their crops directly from the Nile River.but before they did that they used to build walls is that the crops would keep enough water from the Nile River flooding.
It was used in dry areas to help to grow crops and as a source of water.

It was because when the Nile flooded, it left behind this fertile soil called silt. The farmers used this silt to produce crops. When a civilization has enough food, it thrives.
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.
The river Nile used for economic activities such as fishing and transport. In modern times, the river, which is the longest in Africa, has proved to be a tourist attraction and a vital source of hydroelectric power.
