Was the west bank of the Nile farmed in Ancient Egypt?

score:8

Accepted answer

This website has a section on agriculture and horticulture in Ancient Egypt with reference to the creation and maintenance of irrigation canals ...on either side of the Nile. I would assume that if you have irrigation canals on the west bank you would also have fields and such to utilize the water.

There seems to be a number of references on the site but I'm not sure a historical attribution is given for the siting of the irrigation canals.
