Based what I know about the irrigation provided to Egyptians in the past and perhaps even now, the Nile River in Egypt would seasonable overflow. The Egyptians used these Nile flood waters to irrigate their crops no doubt by directing waters through trenches and thus were able to "control" the floods of the Nile for their farming. ancient Rome was built along the Tiber River, and I can imagine that some of the Tiber's water could be controlled the same way it was done in ancient Egypt. That is trenches to guide part of the Tiber to water the Roman farmlands. Also, another source of fresh water came from springs in mountain ranges near Rome. Aqueducts carried drinking water and helped the Roman sewer & bath systems by using water fed to Rome via the aqueducts. It would seem reasonable that part of the water from the aqueducts could be diverted for irrigation of Roman crop lands.
