The Matter of the Nile
Now in control of Egypt, we may greatly benefit from this breadbasket of empires - but we need to consider the flooding of the Nile. This ancient land has long relied on a complex system of irrigation, in a precarious balance with the deserts around it. We must ensure state control of this system, as well as supply plenty of wood - something Egypt sorely lacks.

5405historical_info = flavor_tur.78.historical_info Regulating the flooding of the Nile was an issue of great importance throughout history. After the conquest of Egypt, the Ottomans kept much of the old administrative system intact, but they saw the maintenance of the ancient irrigation systems as vitally important to the grain supply of their empire. Ottoman overseers thus became heavily involved in this.
