By trapping water in dams and weirs, and leading irrigation channels through the fields.
ditches filled with water so when crops needed to be watered, it can be easily dispersed. or it can catch water unneeded when it rained
Over time, the farmers learned to build dams and channels to control the seasonal floods. They also built walls water ways, and ditches to bring water to their Field's. The farmers learned a certain way to water their crops, this way of watering crops is called irrigation. Irrigation allowed the farmers to grow plenty of food and support a large population.the dams are actually called a levee
Well one reason is because, it provided silt for the crops.
they dug irrigation ditches from the river to their fields so they could bring water to their crops.
One is monsoons which destroyed crops, and another is that farmers in the Indus Valley could only plant crops in the areas where the water from the Indus was direct.
They became successful farmers by digging ditches near streams and the stream's water flowed into the ditches making water for crops.
Earlier farmers watered their crops by wooden plows. This was back in the older days.
Southwest Indians were farmers and even dug ditches to collect water for all their crops. They were also artists and made pictures made of sand.
The method is called irrigation and the water is passed through conduits or ditches called irrigation channels from the water source (well, river, stream) to where the crops need the water.

That is irrigation.

Well, most farmers use a form of watering called irrigation. It's a series of ditches and canals that are somehow connected to a water source that's ran through a sprinkler system.

It sounds like you're referring to irrigation, where water is diverted by ditches and canals to make land more suitable for planting crops. Irrigation ditches can divert water from free-flowing rivers and streams or from reservoirs created by dams.
early farmers who cultivated crops and domesticated animals
The Egyptian irrigation ditches brought water from the River Nile to water food crops growing along the Nile Valley.
