Detailed explanation-1: -Early settlements in Mesopotamia were located near rivers. Water was not controlled, and flooding was a major problem. Later people built canals to protect houses from flooding and move water to their fields. To solve their problems, Mesopotamians used irrigation, a way of supplying water to an area of land.
Detailed explanation-2: -Mesopotamians faced four major problems as they attempted to survive in this environment: food shortages in the hills. an uncontrolled water supply on the plains. difficulties in building and maintaining systems that provided water across village boundaries.
Detailed explanation-3: -A basic challenge for any group is how to provide food for itself. Food shortages had forced settlers in Mesopotamia to move from the foothills down to the river valley. There, farmers faced the problem of having either too much water or too little.
