If the ancient Egyptians had no flood plains, the Nile would not have provided the annual inundation that was crucial for agriculture. This would have severely limited crop production, leading to food shortages and potentially stunting the growth of civilization. Without the fertile land and reliable water source, the development of complex society, architecture, and culture in ancient Egypt would likely have been significantly altered or even impossible. The reliance on the Nile was central to their economy, religion, and daily life, shaping their identity as a civilization.

These flood plains are often seen merging with meander plains with hardly any difference so that it is difficult to distinguish between meanders and cover flood plains. These plains are formed only because of variation in speed and decomposition.
