Proposal for an irrigation system that will divert flood waters and benefit riverbank farmers

Answers

In order to divert flood waters, one should have a large water basin, with small man made streams flowing into a larger body of water, like a lake or river. An example of this is the irrigation system that greenhouses use. They collect rain water, and use it as a source of irrigation, but rather than using it, you would be diverting it into the earth into a natural way.

A vast water basin with small artificial streams flowing into a bigger body of water, such as a lake or river, is necessary to deflect flood waters. This is exemplified by the irrigation system used in greenhouses. They gather rainwater and use it as a source of irrigation, but you would be directing it into the ground in a natural way rather than utilizing it.

1. Coastal position allowed Genoa and Venice to be not only hubs for inland trade, but also naval trade.

5. It's a situation which is very prone to corruption, especially nepotism. The ruling family would try to perserve status quo, and would offer most important offices to familiy's members. The quality of people in power would deteriorate, as they are appointed not by merits and skills, but by blood. 
It would also be important to be in good relations with the ruling family, so it would probably be necessary to give them bribes or gifts.

What do you know about the Sahara Desert

Answers

Here are some facts about the Sahara;

-it's the largest hot desert, but not the largest desert in the world: Arctic and Antrarctica are bigger

-It's about as big as the US

- there are some green areas or "oasis" on them and even a city: M'zab is located in one such oases.

Answer:

The largest desert in the world, the Sahara covers an area slightly smaller than the United States. Its name comes from the English translation of the Arabic word for desert. To its north lies the Mediterranean Sea and to the south lies the savanna, which gives way to the Congo River Basin.

The first inhabitants of the Sahara region lived along the Nile River and were generally cattle herders. Cities were established as time progressed. The Phoenicians eventually set up a number of trading posts on the northern edge of the desert along the shores of the Mediterranean. These port cities remained the major means of trading until the arrival of the camel from Saudi Arabia. The use of camels to transport goods quickly affected the Saharan trade. Camels can go two weeks without water and four weeks without food, making them the ideal mode of transportation through desert regions. Large groups of camels would be fattened up and then sent in caravans of more than a thousand to faraway lands in the west, such as Ghana and Mali. Later, with the advent of sailing vessels that could travel around the continent, camel caravans took on less importance.
