Irrigation allowed farms to be further away from rivers. Irrigation is an artificial way to bring water to the land or soil.

The Aral sea has not been diverted, but much of the water from the rivers flowing to the Aral sea have been diverted for irrigation, particularly for cotton and rice production in central Asia.
Aral
It sounds like you're referring to irrigation, where water is diverted by ditches and canals to make land more suitable for planting crops. Irrigation ditches can divert water from free-flowing rivers and streams or from reservoirs created by dams.
The effect irrigation has on soil is that it dampens it, making it better for growing crops. To groundwater, irrigation fills it up with water. Rivers are affected by irrigation by the irrigation flowing into it.
There are no natural flowing rivers in Libya. However, there is the Great Manmade River (GMR) that is actually a system of irrigation pipes that takes water to much of the desert areas in the country.
Flowing Rivers was created in 1976-10.
The main reason why the Aral Sea has shrunk so dramatically is because water from the rivers flowing to it has been diverted for irrigation. The Aral Sea basin is fed by the Syr Darya and Amu Darya Rivers, which flow directly into the sea. Other rivers feeding the basin are the Tedzhen and Murgabi Rivers and the Karakum canal, as well as shallow rivers from Kopet Dag and western Tien-Shan. Water from the two largest rivers has been diverted for purposes of irrigating central asia's rice and cotton production. Therefore, it could be said that human activity has been the main cause of the shrinking of the Aral Sea. The problem with the shrinkage of the sea is that desertification has increased. Salinity has increased, as have dust storms, and the desert which surrounds the Aral has recaimed more and more of the basin, meaning that the Aral's future looks very bleak.
there are no regular flowing rivers in Djibouti
Farmers between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers historically watered their crops using a system of irrigation canals that diverted water from the rivers. They built dams to control the flow of water and used a network of channels to distribute it to their fields. This practice dates back to ancient Mesopotamia and continues to be used in modern agriculture in the region.
flowing rivers
Water is physically diverted in an irrigation project using various methods, including the construction of canals, ditches, or pipes that redirect water from rivers, lakes, or aquifers to agricultural fields. Gates, weirs, and pumps can also control the flow and distribution of water, ensuring it reaches specific areas as needed. Additionally, levees and reservoirs may be built to manage water levels and store excess water for later use. These systems work together to optimize water delivery and efficiency in irrigation.
Fiji has numerous rivers, with over 100 rivers flowing through the islands. The largest and most significant rivers include the Rewa, Sigatoka, and Ba rivers. These rivers are vital for irrigation, transportation, and providing freshwater to communities. The total number of rivers can vary depending on the criteria used to define them, but the country is known for its rich network of waterways.
