Although Mesopotamia had fertile soil,
farming wasn’t easy there. The region
received little rain. This meant that the
water levels in the Tigris and Euphrates rivers depended on how much rain fell in eastern Asia Minor where the two rivers began.
When a great amount of rain fell there, water
levels got very high. Flooding destroyed
crops, killed livestock, and washed away
homes. When water levels were too low,
crops dried up. Farmers knew they needed a
way to control the rivers’ fl ow.
Controlling Water
To solve their problems, Mesopotamians
used irrigation , a way of supplying water
to an area of land . To irrigate their land,
they dug out large storage basins to hold
water supplies. Then they dug canals ,
human-made waterways , that connected
these basins to a network of ditches. These
ditches brought water to the fi elds. To
protect their fi elds from fl ooding, farmers
built up the banks of the Tigris and Euphrates. These built-up banks held back fl oodwaters even when river levels were high
I think the Inka tribe used irrigation.
Diversion of water of feeder rivers for irrigation projects
Yes, many advanced ancient civilizations used Irrigation. It was one of their many keys to success.

The earth's surface effects bodies of water in a few ways. When littering you cause pollution then the air we breathe is not clean.
the main use of water in agriculture is irrigation of course. it can cause pollution by carring soluts like excess nitrogen or phosphorus to underground water reserves or lakes and rivers. it can also carry dissolved pesticides and herbisides though its less likely
we need rivers to survive cause we need water
Irrigation can cause soil pollution through the accumulation of agricultural chemicals such as fertilizers and pesticides in the soil. Excessive use of irrigation water can lead to leaching of these chemicals into the soil, contaminating it and affecting soil quality. Additionally, improper irrigation practices can result in soil erosion, further contributing to soil pollution.
