Ancient Egyptian Dams
Dams were necessary for the civilizations of Ancient Egypt who were mainly located near, or right along, the Nile River as it was a prime location to sustain life. The river itself served as a highway for trade, an immense water resource, and due to its seasonal flooding and drought, it created rich soil for farming. Though, that seasonal flooding also threatened the well-being of each civilization because if and when they were flooded, all was ruined and had to be rebuilt or relocated. Thus, the Ancient Egyptian sought protection against this natural danger via the human innovation of dams.
