2. There are not enough water for the people.

3. It was always way too hot.

4. There was no enough food.

Answer 2

The four key problems that the Mesopotamians faced are:

• food shortages in the hills
• an uncontrolled water supply on the plains
• difficulties in building and maintaining irrigation systems to serve the needs of several villages at once
• attacks by neighboring communities

Answer 3

The Nile River, Tigris, and the Euphrates

AnswerIt was way to hot. And they had crazy laws, such as if you steal your hands get choped off
mesopotamias problem was there was not enough water in the summer and there was too much water in the spring floods. the soil was dry and hot. the biggest challenge for farmers was control the flow of water.

Answer 4

Mesopotamians had to figure out how to survive in the dry season, when a big drought came, and in the flood season, when the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers flooded and would wipe out their crops, animals and houses. People would die from that incident and then someone else would move to where they were because it had such great soil. They built levees along the rivers and reservoirs to store water in them, and poked holes in the levees that flowed into canals that spread across the farmlands when needed. As the good soil at the bottom of the river would build up the water would rise. As the water was rising the people had to build taller and bigger levees. After so many years of doing this the water level was above the houses so if the levees broke then the whole town would be flooded.
They also had to figure out how to manage complex irrigation systems in city-states, which led to different problems. Would they make one village do all the work? They gave jobs to people in each village that would be in charge of maintaining the irrigation systems in certain areas.
Also, they had to figure out how to defend themselves from attacks by other communities. In Mesopotamia, the downstream communities attacked the upstream communities because they were using too much water. So the communities built walls around their cities to protect from intruders.

Hope that helped :)

Answer 5

Battles between Akkadians and Sumerians for water and land rights formed many times so they formed armies, created more advanced weapons and built barriers by the Euphrates river so enemy's could't get in.

Answer 7

the four key problems are food shortages in the hills, an uncontrolled water supply, building the irrigation system and attacks by neighboring communities.

Answer 8

they had flooding so they created irrigation systems. they also had to start hunting because crops were becoming scarce.

Answer 9

Invasion by nomads; variations in the river floodings between shortages of water and destructive flooding; the conflicts between growing kingdoms for power and dominance.
