Sagot :

The people of Mesopotamia modified their environment to increase food production by b. developing irrigation techniques.

Farming in Mesopotamia was very effective because:

  • it is surrounded by the Tigris and Euphrates rivers which bring water
  • the rivers also bring very fertile soil

The Mesopotamians found a way to get the water from the Euphrates and the Tigris into their farms. These irrigation techniques allowed them to water a vast area which allowed them to reap abundant harvests like in Egypt.

In conclusion, the Mesopotamians became very good at farming by modifying their environment with irrigation techniques that allowed them to irrigate large areas.
