EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling scene at the Sluice Gates of the Delta Barrage on the Nile River in Egypt, circa 1910. The Delta Barrage, a marvel of 19th-century engineering, was constructed to enhance and regulate the irrigation system for nearby farms, thereby contributing significantly to the region's economic growth. The image showcases the intricate design of the bascule (knife-edge) gates, which are raised and lowered to control the flow of water. The gates, with their distinctive curved arms, create a striking contrast against the backdrop of the mighty Nile. A crowd of Egyptian people, dressed in traditional attire, are gathered at the dam, eagerly awaiting their turn to cross the bridge. The bridge, with its multiple arches, is a testament to the ingenuity of the time, allowing pedestrians and carts to traverse the river efficiently. The Delta Barrage, with its sluice gates and bridges, played a crucial role in the lives of the local population, providing them with a reliable water supply for agriculture and facilitating the transportation of goods. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the symbiotic relationship between human ingenuity, engineering, and the natural resources of the Nile River. This image, with its rich historical significance, is an enduring reminder of the past and the role of water control structures in shaping the economic, social, and cultural landscape of Egypt.
