what method of irrigation did the ancient egyptian egyptian farmers use?

Question

how was it used? Who? What? Where? When? Why?

Answer 1

They used water from the Nile which is still used today. They dug trenches and then with a bucket on a stick dipped water from the Nile and dumped it into the ditch. The Nile also flooded almost yearly bringing with it good black silt from downstream which made Egypt a very fertile land for growing crops.
