The ancient Egyptians discovered how to reserve flood water through their observations of the annual inundation of the Nile River. They noticed that the floodwaters brought fertile silt, which could be harnessed for agriculture. By constructing basins and canals, they developed an irrigation system that allowed them to store excess water during the floods and distribute it to their fields throughout the dry season. This innovation significantly enhanced their agricultural productivity and sustained their civilization.
