    Farming in Mesopotamia relied on irrigation from the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, which allowed the Sumerians and later Akkadians to build cities and develop agriculture, growing crops like wheat, barley, and dates. The rivers also provided fish, reeds, and clay building materials, enabling cities to form and a civilization to emerge along the fertile river valleys through irrigation-based farming and raised livestock.
