The Egyptian irrigation device was primarily the shaduf, a hand-operated device used to lift water from rivers or canals to fields for agriculture. It consists of a long pole with a bucket on one end and a counterweight on the other, allowing farmers to efficiently transport water for irrigation. This simple yet effective tool played a vital role in ancient Egyptian agriculture, enabling the cultivation of crops in the arid environment of the Nile Valley.
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.

Not only to drink, but to water their crops. They used complex irrigation systems to bring in water from the water sources to where they needed the water.
Irrigation first began in China in 500 B.C.
