In Ancient Egypt, the Nile River flooded each year in June. How did the annual flooding of the Nile affect the Ancient Egyptians? A.)The flood waters left silt on the farmland, which provided nutrients for the soil. B.) The flood waters destroyed all houses, and Egyptians had to rebuild everything. C.) The flood waters ruined all of the crops that the Egyptians had planted. D.) The flood waters contaminated the soil and made it unsuitable for farming.

Ancient egyptians were aware of the yearly floods of the Nile, as they could observe the rise and fall of the waters. Being able to foresee this, they started to develop an irrigation method that would take advantage of the floodings, the basin irrigation method, which consisted on dividing the land into large fields and enclosing them with dams , and flow canals. These basins were flooded and closed for a month and a half approximately, in order to allow the silt to deposit. After that, the water was moved to another field or back into the river. Once the soil was fertile, thanks to the silt, planting and harvesting followed. This was the only time when farming was possible, as it could not be done during the dry season.
