What is Shaduf: Ancient Egyptian Irrigation Device about?
An Egyptian peasant uses a mechanical device called a "shaduf" to raise water from the Nile to fill an irrigation ditch. The shaduf consists of a long pole balanced on a crossbeam, with a rope connecting a bucket on one end and a heavy counterweight on the other. By pulling the rope, the peasant lowers the bucket into the Nile, and then the counterweight raises the bucket and pours the water into the ditch.
