They invented the "shadouf" to help them distribute water across the land.
A 'shadouf' is an ancient irrigation technique comprising of a bucket on a long counter-weighted arm that the farmer swings down into the water and over to the field - it is still used today.

the duck may swim on the lake, but my daddy owns the lake.
Shadouf
The [shadouf] is a simple tool requiring the presence from two to four men. It is composed of a long suspended pole maintained by a weight at an end and equipped with a bucket attached at the other end. This bucket is designed to raise nearly two meters of water. It can irrigate a little more than one third of acre in 12 hours.
they used a bucket -lifter called shadouf (shah DOOF) . They used a form of tecnology called irrigation
that is a hard question. but i believe the first proper catapults were invented by the Greeks in 400 B.C . but the thing is you have menny other country/nations that have there own like the shadouf of Egypt . it was the shadouf that most were based of of. so in a tecnical way you could say the people of Egypt. and the Chinese. have thair own form of catapult aswell.

There was a beam with a pail at one end, like a lever, small rocks in the pail would make it go down in the Nile,once filled with water,they attached a massive rock, which the pail on the other side,went up,and they got water.(Seems like a lot,but it's actually really simple.)

They built a series of canals Most nile irrigation takes the form of "flood irrigation" rises (annually) in flood. they also used a counterbalanced device called a "shadouf" to rise water to irrigation trenches when thelevel of the river had dropped-again these are still in use in some rural areas around the river.
