    Imagine yourself you can’t do anything without water in your life like washing dishes, taking a bath, washing your pets, and drinking water. Do we need laws to dig the wells?

    Ancient Egypt The Nile is the source of the ancient Egyptian civilization. While much is known about their dependence on the annual Nile floods for the success of their agriculture, less is known about their water law as no relevant legal codes have been found. Nonetheless water law must have existed similar to Mesopotamia. Yet we do know some about the importance of the Nile through a number of sources.
