good- Dam provides 45% of total Egyptian power requirements.

electricity, water supply, national pride

bad- The Nile carries a lot of silt. Prior to the dam, annual floods deposited

this this silt along the banks of the lower Nile, adding fertility. These floods were caused by rains in the upper Nile every June to September. Most of the silt comes from the Blue Nile and the Atbara River in the Ethiopian highlands. The Blue and the White Nile join at Khartoum in Sudan.

The dam put a stop to these annual floods, making farming more difficult and dependent on commercial fertilizers, an economic hardship. Lake Nassar created by the dam is filling up with silt.

Would it be good if the Nile River floods?

It could be good agriculturally, and was since the times of Ancient Egypt, when the floods dumped fertile alluvial soil over the Nile River banks. But it could be bad if the floods were severe, because it would wash away any growing crops. Since the construction of the Aswan High Dam in 1970, Egypt gets no Nile floods, beneficial or otherwise. However, they still occur in Sudan, which is above (south of) the dam.
