The water used to irrigate Mesopotamia primarily came from the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. These rivers, fed by melting snow from the mountains and seasonal rain, provided a reliable source of water for agriculture. Ancient Mesopotamians developed an extensive system of canals, dikes, and reservoirs to manage and distribute this water for their crops. This irrigation system was crucial for supporting the region's early civilizations.
