Yes, ancient farmers often lived next to floodplains because floodplains provided fertile soil for agriculture. The annual flooding of the nearby rivers deposited nutrient-rich sediment onto the floodplains, making the land ideal for farming. Farmers utilized the regular inundation of floodwaters to irrigate their crops and maximize agricultural production.
