A cataract is an area of a river where the elevation of the streambed changes too quickly or has to many boulders meaning people couldn't use part of the river as transportation.
This was a good thing because the cataracts effectively served as barriers so they could control travel. This meant that the Pharos found it impossible to control the land south of the first cataract. This ending up becoming the southern border of Ancient Egypt.

The best example is their amazing system of roads. The Incas built roads across the length and width of their empire. To create routes through steep mountain ranges, they carved staircases and gouged tunnels out of rock. They also built suspension bridges over rivers.
Hope this helps
