Most of Mesopotamia is hot and dry. Their water came from the Tigris and Euphrates river systems, and they trapped it in dams and canals for irrigation. In years when the rains failed in the headwaters of the rivers, there was a shortage of water which did not replensh the warwe storages and spread silt on the land to replenish its fertility.
