Because of irrigation and agriculture, people had surpluses which resulted to surplus in food. Because of surplus in food, they were able to do more things like invent unlike the hunter-gathers in the Paleolithic Era who spent most of their time surviving and getting food. With all of the inventions, they could trade with others.
Irrigation
Was farming or hunting easier in the region of Mesopotamia? Explain.
The value of irrigation and genetic engineering was highlighted.See the related Wikipedia link listed below for more detailed information regarding dams, aqueducts, and plowing:
There was many. They invented plows, dams, the wheel, chariots, and the most important of all, writing. Cuneiform writing that is. This was picture writing.
Mesopotamia was a lush land before the climate changed and the earth warmed. the land became very dry and almost uninhabitable.

Mesopotamians invented the irrigation system and the seeder plow. Which was very important to Mesopotamian farming.
The answer is that they could not get water to some of the farm areas but they eventually overcame that by using irrigation.
They used irrigation systems for transporting water to their crops form a river.
The agriculture in Mesopotamia was the main source of livelihood. However, the geography made it difficult to do farming without irrigation which depended on river Euphrates and Tigris.
Yes, advances in farming techniques such as precision agriculture, genetically modified crops, and irrigation systems have helped to increase crop production in many parts of the country. These advancements have improved efficiency, reduced waste, and increased yields for farmers.
Irrigation
without irrigation, the crops wouldn't get as much water as needed. with irrigation, they took the water from the rivers and connected it somehow to the crops for water.
The Euphrates and Tigris River floods brought down silt which provided fertile soil, renewed yearly, and the rivers also provided the water for irrigation.
