they let it flood, since its sediment was used as soil for crops...
Sustenance played a crucial role in the founding of Egyptian civilization. The Nile is an unending source of sustenance. The Nile made the land surrounding it extremely fertile when it flooded or was inundated annually. The Egyptians were able to cultivate wheat and crops around the Nile, providing food for the general population. Also, the Nile's water attracted game such as water buffalo; and after the Persians introduced them in the 7th century BC, camels. These animals could be killed for meat, or could be captured, tamed and used for ploughing - or in the camels' case, travelling. Water was vital to both people and livestock. The Nile was also a convenient and efficient way of transportation for people and goods.
yeah, if you look at a map of the earlier egypt, you see a very wide unsteable nile river. but when u look at a newer map, you see if narrow. this reason is they used a dam, they would open it when droughts come in, and close it when its full.
The new technologies that helped trigger the industrial revolution where the modern steam engine and technologies that helped farmers plant more crops in a more organized fashion.
In both periods of time, farmers encountered a lot of problems regarding pests and parasites. They also had to put up with a rise in unknown crop diseases.

Helped to predict floods and droughts
Plants die in droughts. This is why droughts are such a disaster for farmers. Some trees and bushes go into a non-growing state and may survive when they are revived by new rainfall.
It hurt them because there was not enough money to buy food and crops. Also because of droughts. Because of droughts there was very dry ground and farmers could not plant anymore crops because the ground had no nutriments in it so there was no way there could be anything for the farmers to do. that's what hurt farmers at that time.
with brains, luck, science and planning and then they pay someone to find out what to do
They made canals to take the water water somewhere else . :)
a. devastating droughts and dust storms throughout the 1930s.
The new deal hurt farmers because it put many farmers in debt and there were many droughts causing the crops to be destroyed. Since the crops were destroyed, the farmers couldn't make money and turned poor.
The droughts and the high costs for food production were the likely reason that they experienced economic hardship during this time. The droughts had an immediate and direct impact on the farmers and their productivity. Therefore, this prevented subsidies from being given away for farming.
Famine: People may not have enough nutrition later on. Drought; Farmers need to find new farmland and they can't grow crops near the droughts because it is too dry. Farmers may even need to migrate to other countries to start their farmland.
Many farmers left the great plain because the dust bowl caused droughts and that was really bad for agriculture or farming
