It's clear that at least one of the world's ancient civilizations made use of irrigation to produce more farm products. Ancient Egyptians knew when to expect high flooding waters of the Nile. Irrigation trenches diverted some of the Nile's water to otherwise barren and dry lands.

Irrigation allowed ancient societies to control water supply for agriculture, enabling them to cultivate larger areas of land and produce surplus food. This surplus supported population growth and led to the establishment of permanent settlements. As communities grew, they developed complex social structures, trade networks, and governance systems, laying the foundation for civilization. Overall, irrigation was crucial in transforming nomadic groups into organized societies with distinct cultural identities.
The ancient Mesopotamian civilization, particularly the Sumerians, developed their society around the flood cycles of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. They relied on the seasonal flooding to irrigate their crops, leading to agricultural abundance. This understanding of flood cycles was crucial for their farming practices, urban planning, and overall societal organization. Their sophisticated irrigation systems and agricultural techniques were developed in response to these natural cycles.
Cradle of civilization means the place where civilization began to flourish. Civilization was able to thrive because it had what it needed.
The classical civilization shaped by the monsoon cycle, the Himalaya Mountains, and the Indus River is the Indus Valley Civilization, which thrived around 2500 to 1900 BCE in present-day Pakistan and northwest India. The monsoon rains were crucial for agriculture, allowing for the cultivation of crops like wheat and barley, while the Indus River provided water for irrigation and trade. The geography, including the protective barrier of the Himalayas, influenced the civilization's development, facilitating a unique culture and advanced urban planning. However, climate change and shifting monsoon patterns eventually contributed to its decline.
