The Sumerians used levees, canals, and dams for controlling water. These are all different systems of irrigation. With levees, canals, and dams the Sumerians had a reliable water source. They had plenty of water for their crops. These systems of irrigation helped bring neighboring communities together. When there was a problem with the dam, canal, or levees, the people around would help each other out by taking care of their systems of irrigation

Why did sumerians use leeves dams and canals?

Sumerians used levees, dams, and canals primarily to manage the unpredictable flooding of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers and to ensure a stable supply of water for irrigation. These water management systems allowed them to control water flow, protect their settlements from floods, and effectively irrigate their fields, which was crucial for agriculture in the arid region. This innovation enabled the growth of surplus crops, supporting population growth and the development of complex societies.
