Detailed explanation-1: -“Sumerians built networks of canals, dams, reservoirs to provide their crops with a regular supply of water. These things are called complex irrigation systems all together” (Frey, 43). An irrigation system represents stable food supply because it is how they controlled water to be able to plant crops.
Detailed explanation-2: -Mesopotamians created irrigation systems to protect against damage from too much or too little water and to ensure a stable supply of water for crops and livestock.
Detailed explanation-3: -It is estimated that the ancient Sumerians invented the plow between 3100 and 1500 B.C. The plow was designed to utilize domestic animals as a means of easing the workload on farmers. Oxen were harnessed to a wooden plow and pulled it through the fields to loosen the soil for easier planting of crops.
