There were only a few. The yearly inundations some years just didn't come, which meant a bad harvest and possibly famine in the year ahead. In other years the flooding might be too heavy, causing much damage to housing and loss of life though drownings. And while the river provided easy transport if you went downstream, sailing or rowing upstream could be very tough, certainly during the season when its water level was rising and adverse currents were strong. But generally speaking, the Nile's benefits to the Egyptians were much bigger than its drawbacks.
