Question

What benefits did Egypt receive as a result of the construction of the Aswan High Dam?

Answer 1

The first Aswan dam provided valuable irrigation during droughts but could not hold back the annual flood of the mighty Nile River. In the 1950s, Egyptian leader Gamal Abdel Nasser envisioned building a new dam across the Nile, one large enough to end flooding and bring electric power to every corner of Egypt.

Answer 2

Answer:

The Aswan High Dam in Egypt is one of the largest dams in the world. It controls the floodwaters of the Nile River. Its hydroelectric plant supplies 15% of Egypt’s electricity. In addition, it has increased Egypt’s arable land since reservoir waters are used for irrigation.
