EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in Egypt during the 1920s, showcases the traditional water lifting device known as a shaduf (or shadoof) in use for irrigating farmland. The shaduf, a simple yet ingenious engineering tool, has been a staple of Middle Eastern agriculture for thousands of years. In this image, an Egyptian farmer skillfully operates the device, raising a large bucket filled with water from a nearby source to water his crops. The shaduf consists of a long, balanced arm supported by a pivot at one end and a counterweight at the other. When the farmer pushes the arm down, the water-filled bucket is submerged, and when he releases it, the counterweight lifts the arm, bringing the water to the surface. This method of water lifting was essential in the arid regions of Egypt, where water was a precious resource. This photograph, taken in 1922, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the resilience and resourcefulness of the people of Egypt during a time when modern water supply systems were not yet commonplace. The shaduf remains a testament to the ingenuity and adaptability of farmers in the region, who continue to use this method in some areas to this day. As we admire this image, we are reminded of the importance of preserving traditional farming practices and the role they play in shaping the agricultural landscape of the world. The shaduf, a symbol of the past, continues to inspire and inform modern irrigation systems and agricultural engineering.
