How did civilizations that were far from rivers support agriculture?

Rivers are a handy source of water for agriculture and other purposes, but they are hardly the only source of water; rain falls in any location that is not a desert, and there are also lakes. And for regions where there is less water available, there are still plants that are adapted to semi-arid conditions. Some civilizations are less dependent upon agriculture than others. There are nomadic lifestyles, there are trade-based cultures which import food, and so forth. Even in the desert, some people live at an oasis and eat dates from the desert palm trees.
