Nilometer Egypt

Egypt_River Nile_Nilometer_Visit Egypt Tours_Egypt

A Nilometer was a means (typically a structure) of measuring the River Nile's clarity and for measuring the water level of the Nile River during the annual flood season.

Between June and September, the reaches of the Nile running through Egypt would burst their banks and cover the adjacent flood plain. When the waters receded, around September or October, they left behind a rich alluvial deposit of exceptionally fertile black silt over the croplands, while Nilometers originated in Pharaonic times, they continued to be used by the later civilizations that held sway in Egypt. In the 20th century, the Nile's annual inundation was first greatly checked, and then eliminated entirely, with the construction of the Aswan dams.
