Answer 1

Answer:

Early Mesopotamians turned to dry farming because of the climate there which was dry with so little rainfall. It was the seasonal floods that made their soil fertile. ... It was the silt that was left behind from the flooding water that made the soil fertile.. The most important crops in Mesopotamia were wheat and barley.

They used canals, or man-made waterways, as irrigation tools to channel water from rivers to crops. Irrigation helped keep the soil moist, and the river water delivered nutrients to the soil. This moist, nutritious farming soil is what earned the region the nickname “The Fertile Crescent.”

DRY FARMING OCCURS IN AREAS WHERE THERE IS LESS RAINFALL
