A "bad Nile" is a lack of water or too much water, so possible consequences include:
Famine (from crops dying)
Destruction of property (from flood waters)
and much more. However, this type of question normally references something in the text, so I suggest checking that section to see if a specific example was ever given.
Falling prices. Farmers were in dire economic straits because prices for agricultural products such as cotton and wheat had significantly dropped, while consumer prices for goods and services continued to rise. Debt and foreclosure. Working conditions were terible there wasnt no safety and child laboring was occurring.
The defendant in the case is Jones:)
