Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Sumerian agriculture depended heavily on irrigation. The irrigation was accomplished by the use of canals, dams, rivers, and reservoirs. The frequent violent floods of the Tigris and the Euphrates Rivers meant that canals required frequent repair.
Detailed explanation-2: -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.
