Most of the New River is a fairly straight canal, then a quite flooded riverine lowland from where the Runnel valley is overcharged with taking the water masses.
Did the Pharaoh include locks and fish stairs in his drainage channel?

Still requires a small tidal wave to get river craft upriver, I think.
