Ancient Mesopotamia dealt with the unpredictable rivers by building irrigation ditches and canals to carry the water from the rivers to their fields during the dry summer months. They also built ways to store water and to drain the water when the rivers flooded. Since the Euphrates river is higher than the Tigris, they also designed a way to use the Euphrates River as the water supply and the Tigris channel as a drain.
