The Egyptian already had a ready made irrigation device that worked almost every year, flooded hundreds of thousands of acres, cleaned the soil of
salt build up, washed away waste and not only irrigated but left a nice new layer of soil. It was called the Nile flood. They only needed to renew
their irrigation ditches and wallah all the water they needed.

During the time the pyramids were built the area around them (AFAIK) was desert and had been for thousands of years.
There are a number of other and easier ways to prevent soot - one involves mud.
