During droughts, Mesopotamians utilized an intricate irrigation system to water their crops. They constructed canals, dikes, and reservoirs to divert water from rivers like the Tigris and Euphrates, allowing them to manage water supply effectively. This innovative approach enabled them to sustain agriculture even in times of water scarcity, supporting their civilization's growth. Additionally, they practiced crop rotation and selected drought-resistant crops to optimize their yield.
they were using irrigation.
They used the reeds to make boats and also papyrus which is a type of paper they wrote on. They used the water from the tigris and euphrates river to irrigate their crops, and they used the clay by the river to build buildings.
a drought can happen anywhere with little water such asesert or even in the praries
In order for early civilizations to develope they needed a good source of water. With water they could irrigate their crops and improve travel. If they did not have a solid source of water to develop farming early civilizations like the Egyptians(Nile River), Mesopotamians (Tigrus and Euphrates Rivers), or Indus river civilizations would not have survived.
They used irrigation tunnels so when it rained or flooded the water would be caught and flow to the crops they also connected these tunnels to rivers near by
the dug trenches
they were using irrigation.
Mesopotamians developed advanced irrigation systems to manage water resources, constructing canals and levees to divert river water for agricultural use during droughts. They also built storage facilities to hold excess water during flooding, ensuring a stable water supply. Additionally, they practiced crop rotation and selected drought-resistant crops to enhance resilience against varying climate conditions. These strategies allowed them to sustain agriculture and support their civilization despite the challenges posed by their environment.
Water the crops during Drought times
That is because there is not enough water and there for the land gets dry and crops die and etc
They developed an irrigation system to direct the water to where they needed it.
Drought means no water. No water means no crops. No water for you or other animals, which means you starve.
A drought makes it harder to water crops, because of water that is lacking. Due to this water shortage crops and trees don't get water, which contains nutrients for development. Therefore, the crops will die off.
Mesopotamians used irrigation to water their crops.
loss of rainfall=no crops because they dont get water=starvation=death :D
They would have a problem of water. The crops would have demolished and The animals and humans would die.
Many things can happen if there is a big drought, due to scarcity of water, such as poor crops and little drinking water.
