There was very little they could do as they could only try to ration the food they had managed to grow and it was impossible to store enough water, therefore there could be famine and death.
Ancient Egyptian civilization was plagued by a severe drought period that destroyed crops and left communities starving. The drought may have ultimately brought the downfall of ancient Egyptian society.
They could prepare the land and plant more crops.
The Nile's yearly floods helped the egyptians so that they could grow crops. The Nile carried Silt (rich, fertile soil) and dropped it in area's where farmers could collect it. When the Nile flooded, it was a very important time. If there was too much water, the crops were destroyed. If there was not enough water, there was a famine. This is why the Nile is called "The Gift of the Nile"
