75High Dam Monument
The Aswan Dam is an embankment dam situated
across the Nile River in Aswan, Egypt. Since the
1950s, the name commonly refers to the High Dam,
which is larger and newer than the Aswan Low Dam,
which was first completed in 1902. Following
Egypt's independence from the United Kingdom, the
High Dam was constructed between 1960 and 1970.
It aimed to increase economic production by
further regulating the annual river flooding and
providing storage of water for agriculture, and
later, to generate hydroelectricity. The dam has
had a significant impact on the economy and
culture of Egypt. Before the dams were built,
the River Nile flooded each year during late
summer, as water flowed down the valley from its
East African drainage basin. These floods brought
high water and natural nutrients and minerals
that annually enriched the fertile soil along the
floodplain and delta this made the Nile valley
ideal for farming since ancient times. Because
floods vary, in high-water years, the whole crop
might be wiped out, while in low-water years
widespread drought and famine occasionally
occurred. As Egypt's population grew and
conditions changed, both a desire and ability
developed to control the floods, and thus both
protect and support farmland and the economically
important cotton crop. With the reservoir storage
provided by these dams, the floods could be
lessened, and the water could be stored for later
release.
