Egyptian farmers used a system of canals, dikes, and reservoirs to trap flood waters from the Nile. They constructed canals that diverted the floodwaters from the banks of the Nile to their fields. These canals were also used to irrigate the fields during the dry season. Additionally, farmers built dikes or embankments along the riverbanks to control the flow of water and prevent it from flooding their fields. By strategically opening and closing the gates in these dikes, they could regulate the amount of water that entered the fields. Moreover, farmers built reservoirs to store excess floodwaters for later use during dry periods. These techniques allowed them to harness the fertile silt brought by the floods and ensure a consistent water supply for their agricultural activities.
