How did the Ancient Egyptians plan for and adjust to this flooding?

The farmers watched for ibises (white birds) which flew up from the south. When the birds came, the annual flood would soon come after. The Egyptians planned for the flooding by cleaning out their irrigation channels so that the water from the Nile can flow to the built reservoirs where the Egyptians' stored water for the drought seasons and their fields where they grew their crops as a source of food..

What are some ways the Nile River didn't help the Egyptians?

There were only a few. The yearly inundations some years just didn't come, which meant a bad harvest and possibly famine in the year ahead. In other years the flooding might be too heavy, causing much damage to housing and loss of life though drownings. And while the river provided easy transport if you went downstream, sailing or rowing upstream could be very tough, certainly during the season when its water level was rising and adverse currents were strong. But generally speaking, the Nile's benefits to the Egyptians were much bigger than its drawbacks.

Why did the Ancient Egyptians need the Nile for transport?

The Nile River provided transportation for the Egyptians and enabled them to interact with other civilizations along the Nile such as the kingdom of Kush. This transportation would become important to the Ancient Egyptians in the New Kingdom when the empire would spread along the Nile. For these reasons, the transportation provided by the Nile was another key asset for the formation of Egyptian society along the Nile River. Egyptians used the nile for transport to build pyramids. They used boats called fellucas. They had to use the nile as their main transport system because they could not move 20,000 tones of brick by just pulling on the sand. This way also was time constuming.
