They used the reeds to make boats and also papyrus which is a type of paper they wrote on. They used the water from the tigris and euphrates river to irrigate their crops, and they used the clay by the river to build buildings.
I don't think this would answer the full question that you asked, but Mesopotamians did use irrigation to protect their crops from flood and drought. Flood would probably wipe out their crops and drought would dry their crops. A thing I'm not sure of is how they would protect their crops from locusts. When I find the answer I'll be sure to send you that too. -Anon
In order for early civilizations to develope they needed a good source of water. With water they could irrigate their crops and improve travel. If they did not have a solid source of water to develop farming early civilizations like the Egyptians(Nile River), Mesopotamians (Tigrus and Euphrates Rivers), or Indus river civilizations would not have survived.
They used irrigation tunnels so when it rained or flooded the water would be caught and flow to the crops they also connected these tunnels to rivers near by
it was important to get the water to crops
the dug trenches
Mesopotamians used irrigation to water their crops.
The primary source of water in Mesopotamia is from the two rivers, Euphrates and Tigris
Mesopotamians used sickles to harvest crops. These were curved or hooked tools with sharp edges that were used to cut plants close to the ground. After harvesting, they would typically thresh the crops to separate the edible grain from the inedible parts.
To eat
They had wheat and barley.
Mesopotamians got their food by growing crops, making beer, and killing their pets and eating the meat.
the Mesopotamians would make levees. the levees helped store the water in one place .the levees led to an irrigation system .the irrigation systems would help water crops .the watered crops would lead to a food surplus which led to an increase of population and to division of labor.division of labor is since the Mesopotamians didn't have to worry about the droughts they had time to do other things like making pottery
wheat ,corn and yeah
Mesopotamians greatly depended on the Tigris and Euphrates rivers for their floods that left behind fertile land (silt) for crops to grow
Mesopotamia had two rivers, the Tigris River and the Euphrates River. The mesopotamians used the river's water and soil to plant crops.
The Mesopotamians fought over the resources and water rights.
