Uses Of the Nile River
It was the main source of water which helped them to cultivate crops such as rice, maize and wheat and helped agriculture flourish. Since the Nile was the main source of water, it also attracted animals such as buffalo and camels that could be used for their meat as well as their skin and also for farming purposes. They were also used for travel from one place to the other; the Egyptians later began using the Nile as a source of transport. It also played a significant part in the development of the barter system when villages along the Nile traded their produce. In terms of religion and spirituality the Egyptians created a God that would ensure the abundance of the Nile River.
