With a reservoir capacity of 132km³, the Aswan High Dam provides water for around 33,600km² of irrigation land. It serves the irrigation needs of both Egypt and Sudan, controls flooding, generates power, and helps in improving navigation across the Nile.

Explanation:

The first Aswan dam provided valuable irrigation during droughts but could not hold back the annual flood of the mighty Nile River. In the 1950s, Egyptian leader Gama l Abdul Nasser envisioned building a new dam across the Nile, one large enough to end flooding and bring electric power to every corner of Egypt.

OK CHECK ME OUT BRUV, dams wont prevent silt i dont think, agriculture and electricity problems are helped out by dams, electricity problems solved IF it's a hydro electric dam, if NOT, eh no electricity is being generated, But you still have advantages, like.. keeping the water of of things, and mostly, crops are being fed fell due to the dam...if people are actually WATERING their plants.

so your answer would be i. and ii. only

aka answer D.

HOPE THIS HELPED :D
