Detailed explanation-1: -To get the most out of the Nile’s waters, ancient Egyptian farmers developed a system called basin irrigation. They constructed networks of earthen banks to form basins, and dug channels to direct floodwater water into the basins, where it would sit for a month until the soil was saturated and ready for planting.
Detailed explanation-2: -The ancient Egyptians learned partial control of the flood waters of the Nile by means of irrigation. They also wrote hymns to Hapy, the Nile flood god.
Detailed explanation-3: -The benefits of the flooding of the Nile River outweighed the costs because the silt deposits left behind fertilized the fields and allowed for the Egyptian people to have food and continue to grow crops.
