The Egyptian irrigation device, commonly known as the shaduf, is a hand-operated device used to lift water from a river or canal to irrigate fields. It consists of a long pole with a bucket on one end and a counterweight on the other, allowing farmers to efficiently raise water for agricultural purposes. This simple yet effective tool played a crucial role in ancient Egyptian agriculture, enabling the cultivation of crops in arid regions along the Nile River.

The ancient Egyptians used a device called a shaduf for irrigation. This simple machine consisted of a long pole with a bucket on one end and a counterweight on the other. It allowed workers to lift water from the Nile River and distribute it to their fields, facilitating agriculture in the arid environment. The shaduf was crucial for sustaining crop production and supporting the civilization's growth.
An irrigation sprinkler is a device that applies water to plants, mimicking the effect of rain, as it is done in lawn, garden and agricultural irrigation. A fire sprinkler is a device that discharges water when the effects of a fire have been detected, such as when a predetermined temperature has been reached.
The Sumerians developed the shaduf, a simple yet effective irrigation device that consisted of a long pole with a bucket on one end and a counterweight on the other. This device allowed them to lift water from rivers and canals to irrigate their fields, significantly improving agricultural productivity. The shaduf exemplified their innovative approach to farming in the arid landscape of Mesopotamia.

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.
