The people moved to highlands. For farming, they built canals and ditches to bring the river water to their fields. However, these irrigation methods were hampered by silt and saline below the top soil - the land became infertile due to lack of management. Despite that and the presence of the flooding which came too late for the spring planting and too early for fall crops, the fertile crescent was very productive for generations.
