Detailed explanation-1: -To solve their problems, Mesopotamians used irrigation, a way of supplying water to an area of land. To irrigate their land, they dug out large storage basins to hold water supplies. Then they dug canals, human-made waterways, that connected these basins to a network of ditches.
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: -Like the Egyptian, Mesopotamian, and Nubian civilisation, the Indus River civilisation was dependant on farming. They also had a well-developed irrigation system, which meant that they did not have to rely on rain to grow their crops. A large portion of the harvest was given to public granaries for storage.
Detailed explanation-4: -The first archaeological signs of irrigation in Mesopotamia appear around 6000 BC at Choga Mami in central Mesopotamia, during the Samarra culture (6200-5700 BC).
