Question

Tell Us Why/How:

The floods of the river Nile benefited the Egyptians.

Answer 1

The Nile was the only source of water without which Egypt would have been a desert. Egypt hardly receives rainfall and the region would have been barren but for the fertile alluvium, deposited by river Nile. The floods deposited rich and fertile alluvial soil in the floodplains so essential for agriculture.
