Sumerian farmers began to create irrigation systems to provide water for their fields. They built earth walls, called levees, along the sides of the river to prevent flooding. When the land was dry, they poked holes in the levees. The water flowed through the holes and into the thirsty fields.

Answer:
The Mesopotamians needed the water and silt the floods brought, but they had to control the pace at which the rivers distributed these things. They began by building reservoir basins for the annual overflow to run into, and levees to hold the waters back.
