Mesopotamia's rivers (Tigris and Euphrates) are key to their civilization. Because of the rivers Sumerians (Mesopotamia's people) could trade and travel through them. Not to mention just plain drinking water. Another benefit of the rivers was irrigation. Hammurabi (a Mesopotamian king) had helped find a way to control the floods to benefit farming.
