Best Answer

Most human life has developed around river systems, as rivers provide a food source, quick transportation (especially in old times), and trade due to these. Gatherings of civilizations occur almost dangerously close to water, at times even being repeatedly flooded or lost to the waterway. Mesopotamia is no exception, as the 3 rivers meet and such an area was in great abundance of life of all sorts.
