The Nilometer is a building from the Gifts of the Nile scenario in Civilization VI. It can be built in the City Center if the city is next to a Nile River tile.
- Effects:
- +2
Science - +1 Food and Production on all Floodplains tiles
- +2
Strategy[]
The Nilometer allows Egypt and Nubia to build large, productive cities along the banks of the Nile River. The 
Science bonus is nice, and the extra 
Food and 
Production from nearby Floodplains make this terrain much more desirable to a city with a Nilometer.
Civilopedia entry[]
The people of the Nile Valley depended upon its annual floods (or “inundations”) for their very survival. The ingenious nilometers measured the height of the floodwaters: too high, and people could expect dangerous floods. Too low, and they would see famine. Anything between those marks indicated a relatively prosperous season.
