In a very low rainfall area, reliant on floodwaters from the upper Tigris and Euphrates Rivers, the irrigation channels allowed the floodwaters to be collected and distributed across the flood plains to provide the crops to provide for a large and growing population sustained by agriculture.

Why did the civilizations of the Mesopotamia need to develop irrigation?

Irrigation was important to agriculture in Mesopotamia because of the semiarid climate, the climate is hot and dry and gets less than 10 in. of rain a year. The climate reflects how the crops grow and the crops need a good supply and source of water so they can be plentiful. Since the climate of Mesopotamia gets a shortage of rain, the irrigation system, that transports the water from the river to the crops, is very important. Without the irrigation system, there would be no crops, and without crops, people would starve, and if people starved than there wouldn't be any people, and that wouldn't be good at all. This is why it's important to have irrigation for agriculture in Mesopotamia.
