the water was diverted by digging ditches in the ground going through the fields, when the tied of the river raised then it would travel down these ditches, the ground would then soak it up and the plants would suck it in. The ditches were called aqueducts.

How is water physically diverted in an irrigation project?

Water is physically diverted in an irrigation project using various methods, including the construction of canals, ditches, or pipes that redirect water from rivers, lakes, or aquifers to agricultural fields. Gates, weirs, and pumps can also control the flow and distribution of water, ensuring it reaches specific areas as needed. Additionally, levees and reservoirs may be built to manage water levels and store excess water for later use. These systems work together to optimize water delivery and efficiency in irrigation.


How was farming possible in Egypt?

Farming was only possible in Egypt in the flood plains of the Nile river. Every year the Nile floods, carrying nutrient-rich silt over the flood plains and fertilizing the fields on both sides of the river. Water flowing through the Nile is fresh and was used for irrigation on the fields. Away from the water of the Nile River, Egypt has a desert climate and farming is either subsistence or impossible.
