Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

During this short period, those rivers contribute up to ninety percent of the water of the Nile and most of the sedimentation carried by it, but after the rainy season, dwindle to minor rivers. These facts were unknown to the ancient Egyptians who could only observe the rise and fall of the Nile waters.

Hope this helps :)
