Papyrus of Ani-Ani and wife drinking water from a stream:


Hormini stele, 18th Dynasty: ... all the good and pure things on which a god lives, which the heavens provide, which the earth brings forth, which the Nile carries from his source, breathing the sweet air of the north wind, drinking water from the banks of the river...

Exodus 7:18: [After one of Yahweh' plagues] And the fish that is in the river shall die, and the river shall stink; and the Egyptians shall lothe to drink of the water of the river.

Jeremiah 2:18: And now what hast thou to do in the way of Egypt, to drink the waters of Sihor [Nile]? or what hast thou to do in the way of Assyria, to drink the waters of the river?

The ancient Egyptians, just as they do today, get drinking water from the Nile.
