The first farming societies were located along rivers because farms need water to survive. Without the modern invention of plumbing, it would be impossible to sustain a farm in a location far from water.

Iraq

the average discharge is 680,000 gallons of water per second.

Mesopotamia (from the Greek: the land between the two rivers) was between these rivers.. it now largely corresponds to modern Iraq, northeastern Syria, southeastern Turkey, and the Khuzestan Province of southwestern Iran.

Turkey, Syria, and Iran. The land between the Tigris and the Euphrates was known as Mesopotamia in ancient times, or "Between two rivers."

The Tigris river is one of two rivers: the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers. These rivers are both so important to Mesopotamian life because it provides them with water. Drinking water, bathing water, water for irrigation, the rivers also contain silt which acts as a natural fertilizer. All of the land out of reach from these two rivers had basically no resources. If you look at a physical map of Mesopotamia/Iraq in 3,000 BCE you will see that only Mesopotamia is green. Everywhere else is just plain old dry desert. Follow me on Twitter ProdigySF

The Tigris River is 1,150 miles long and begins on the Armenian plateau in Turkey. In Iraq, it receives additional water from four important tributaries: the Greater Zab, the Lesser Zab, the Adhem and the Diyala. As a result, The sites of the ancient cities of Girsu and Lagash are located on today's Shatt al Gharraf.

The Tennessee River is 886 miles long. It flows north in a few places. It flows south-southwest from Knoxville to Chattanooga, Tennessee. It then turns west through the Cumberland Plateau into northeastern Alabama and continues across northern Alabama before bending north on the boundary between Alabama and Mississippi. It then continues to flow north through Tennessee and Kentucky until it joins the Ohio River at Paducah, Kentucky.

The confluence of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers forms the Shatt-al-Arab (Arabic, River of the Arabs) or the Arvand Rud (Persian, Swift River), a river of some 120 miles (200 km). The southern end divides Iran and Iraq, and flows into the Persian Gulf.

There was only one civilization that existed on the Tigris and Euphrates River. That civilization was Mesopotamia. There were three other civilizations that existed in other areas. These civilizations were the Egyptians, the Longshan, and the Harappa.

unpredictable flooding

The Empire went as a far as Egypt to the lands of Turkey.

It hurt the farmers by flooding their fields and the farmers never knew when to plant their crops............. it helped farmers by giving them a close irragation and transportation system for watering their crops and trading their crops for materials and other foods that they didn't have.This is how the flooding of the rivers helped and hurt farmers.

Mesopotamian (means land in-between the rivers) a+ ;)

They settled there to have supply for fish, water, good farming, transportation and etc.

mesopotamian civilization

The rivers were extremely navigable and provided a fast and reliable transportation to other communities along the river.

Mesopotamia was between the Tigris and Euphrates because in the Mesopotamian creation story, it explains that the rivers were started flowing from the eyes of Tiamat, the evil god, when Marduk killed her.
