The river Nile (prior to the construction of the Aswan Dam) used to flood every year, depositing both water and silt on the land near the shore. This was a source of both irrigation and fertilization, by a means that was completely effortless for farmers; it just happened by itself. It was, therefore, very easy to farm in the vicinity of the Nile. Now the Nile is used to generate electricity instead, and does not flood.
