This flooding, while inconvenient to the farmers at times, served a vital purpose. It insured that the soil remained robust and fertile by depositing large amounts of mineral laden silt in the valleys during each flood. Mineral density in topsoil (along with nitrogen content) is of utmost importance when assessing the health of that topsoil and its ability to raise healthy, vitamin and mineral rich fruits and vegetables.
