Droughts in Ancient Times
Sometimes there was not enough rain. The Nile’s water became low, and the land became dry. Crops could not grow. This period is called a drought. To solve this, the ancient Egyptians made irrigation systems.

Ancient Egyptian Protection
When the river’s water was low due to a drought, the ancient Egyptians used canals to manage the Nile. To protect themselves from strong winds and sand, they built homes with thick mud bricks. They worked hard to survive.
