The High Dam has a substantial positive impact on Egypt’s economy. The yearly Nile flood is under human control for the first time in recorded history. The dam holds back floodwaters and releases them when necessary to maximize floodwater utilization on irrigated land, water tens of thousands of new hectares, improve navigation above and below Aswan, and produce a significant amount of hydroelectric power. A fishing operation is supported by the reservoir that the dam creates.

Isis has seen nursing Horus in the marshes in a scene from the Mammisi, or birth room, where the birth of Horus was celebrated.
