Why irrigation is done?
To move water and create more farm-able land.All plants require water to grow, sometimes that water can be supplied by natural rainfall. Irrigation is used to suppliment the natural rainfall to ensure that plants receive adequate water to grow.The purpose irrigation is to bring water to croplands that normally do not receive enough water from rain or from underground water shelves. Normally trenches are made that run parallel to a row of crops such as corn. Water from a river or a lake is then diverted to the cropland needing attention.This farming practice was performed in ancient Egypt. Yes, when the annual flood of the Nile occurred, these waters help to fertilize crops nearby. But those crops that need an "irrigation" system was created from the flood waters of the Nile.This practice is done in modern times as well. In deserts of the US State of Arizona, they use irrigation systems to produce large orange groves in places like Glendale, Az, which is just a few miles from the major city of Phoenix.

Because of the discovery of irrigation Mesopotamians were able to do what?
Yes it was because the land would flood, and irrigation stored the water :) Hope i helped!!
What is efficiency of flood irrigation?
Only about 20% to 40%, depending on how it's done. Furrow irrigation can boost this to about 50% to 60%. Drip irrigation is still the most efficient, occasionally reaching nearly 90% efficient.
What is one way you could conserve water?
create a national irrigation and flood control system
How did Egyptian farmers water their crops?
They built a series of canals Most nile irrigation takes the form of "flood irrigation" rises (annually) in flood. they also used a counterbalanced device called a "shadouf" to rise water to irrigation trenches when thelevel of the river had dropped-again these are still in use in some rural areas around the river.
