Each summer for the passed few million years this area used to turn into one of the worlds largest lakes.

Nile flood created a 26,000 km² warm, shallow, fresh-water lake, plus affected a further 35,000 km²of the

South East Mediterranean.

The remit for the dam was to artificially regulate water levels in the Lower Flood Plain to allow for optimum

planting of the wheat crop.
