What did the egyptians use to get the water out of the river nile?

Answer 1

Ancient Egyptians built an extensive network of canals and reservoirs that filled during flooding of the rivers in the spring to provide water for agriculture. Drinking water came from the rivers and from wells. Water wheels turned by oxen were used in some places to lift water to higher ground when the rivers were low.
The shadoof or shaduf, aka keloneion and kelon in Greek and swape in English, dates back 5,000 years to ancient Mesopotamia, and is still in use today.

Answer 2

To lift the water from the canal they used a shaduf. A shaduf is a large pole balanced on a crossbeam, a rope and bucket on one end and a heavy counter weight at the other. By pulling the rope it lowered the bucket into the canal. The farmer then raised the bucket of water by pulling down on the weight. He then swung the pole around and emptied the bucket onto the field.
