Taking into account the natural dynamics of the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers and the climatic conditions of Mesopotamia, what made agriculture possible was the creation of different irrigation systems.

The largest canals came out of the rivers, and smaller canals and ditches were also built to drive water for irrigation. The construction and maintenance of these channels was achieved thanks to a high social and political organization. ;

Farming in ancient Mesopotamia developed between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers due to their abundant freshwater and fertile soil, alongside innovations in irrigation systems. Community cooperation for irrigation management fostered social organization and population growth, resulting in the rise of early civilizations. The rivers also facilitated trade, enhancing the region's agricultural success and urban development.
