Cultivation and other farming
The development of irrigation systems and water management techniques allowed crop growing further from rivers by providing a controlled and reliable source of water to crops. Improved transportation systems also played a role in enabling crops to be grown farther from rivers by facilitating the transportation of goods to market. Additionally, advancements in farming technology, such as the use of machinery and fertilizers, increased efficiency and productivity in agriculture, allowing for the cultivation of crops in more diverse locations.
Invention of irrigation systems, like canals and wells, allowed farmers to access water sources farther from rivers. This enabled farms to be established in regions with limited water availability, increasing agricultural expansion and productivity.
During the earliest years of agricultural development, the introduction of irrigation techniques such as canals and ditches allowed farms to be located farther from rivers. This enabled farmers to cultivate land in areas that might not have been naturally suitable for agriculture due to lack of water access.
