How has man used river flooding?

What is the name of two areas where rivers leave rich fertile soil?
Two areas where rivers leave rich fertile soil are river deltas and floodplains. River deltas are formed at the mouth of a river where sediment is deposited, creating a fertile area for agriculture. Floodplains are areas along the banks of a river that are periodically flooded, depositing nutrient-rich sediment that enhances soil fertility.

How is the mississpi and nile river simuliar?
Both the Nile and the Mississippi are long rivers which drain vast areas of the continent. Both have large 'river delta" systems which wash tons of soil from the banks of the river and deposit it in or near the mouth of the river. Before flood control systems tamed each river, the seasonal floods would inundate extensive areas around the river.
What are fine bits of rock and soil deposited on land by a river?
Sediments, such as sand, silt, and clay, are fine bits of rock and soil that are deposited on land by a river. These sediments are carried by the river's current and then settle on the river banks and floodplains when the water slows down. Over time, these sediments contribute to the formation of fertile soil and landforms in river valleys.
