The Nile with its floods provided much needed silt which made their land arable (able to be farmed). Farming is the seed of all civilizations because without it the Egyptians would continue to hunt and forage for food instead of staying in one place and build permanent shelters, which lead to the pyramids.
Another way is transportation. With ships, the Egyptians used it to bring down rocks, tools, people, and other supplies that helped their civilization grow. It even made exploring and expanding their Empire easier as well.

The predictable and stable yearly inundation of the Nile River meant that the flood plain was constantly regenerated. This nutrient-rich soil allowed for a tremendous rate of fertility in Egyptian agriculture. This eventually created a surplus that could be traded (shaping foreign relations) or stockpiled. This surplus ultimately allowed the Egyptians to form a central government and build one of the world's greatest civilizations by provisioning the urban populations dedicated to specialized fields.

Nile provided food and water to the land. When the Nile flooded it helped the farmers cultivate the land for crops. And when it didn't, it was bad for the Egyptians that year. It also was away for them to keep a sense of time, (they had calendars but not everyone was privy to them).

The seasonal flooding of the Nile created flood basins that made the soil very fertile for agriculture.

Besides travel,fish and water.It would flood the banks every year and bring all the minerals found in the water to the dry sand and dirt,causing it to be much more plentiful.Crops would grow more bountiful,there were some years when the water did not rise causing drout and famine.Another use was the eqyptians,being remarkably intelligent, fashioned instruments to use water to produce energy.Like the watermills.

major was the yearly over-flowing of the river that cover and fertiles the land, that cause the quality and abaundant crops of the land cultivated round of the great river.it has huge benificial effect of their economy.the over production has been good for them because it secured their local food stock enough to fed peoples, where the other product was carried through differnt places by merchants came from different places too. Merchandazing has great role in their economy.taxes from bussinessman's products contribute too.and through them Egypt went out stong to the ancient times due to it's capability of production.

Water is the ultimate form of life. It is "god" if you will. With it there is life and without there is none.
