Since rainfall is almost non existent in Egypt, the floods provided the only source of moisture needed o sub stain crops. Irrigation canals were used to control the water, particularly during dry spells

Answer:

Ancient Egyptians welcomed them, they brought valuable sediment down from the mountains that kept the farmland fertile.

In modern times the Aswan dam was built to control flooding.
