Mesopotamia

It is 3500 BCE and I am in Sumer. A problem settling in Sumer is the water. The water is a problem because there is not enough water for all of us to use. A lot of farmers moved to Sumer and faced many challenges. One of the biggest problems was the uncontrolled water supply so they did not grow a lot of crops. The farmers needed water to grow the crops they are dying and we need food. When it rains a lot the two rivers, The Euphrates and the Tigris, flood and the land gets too much mud and the plants die. Another problem I have is the irrigation system. If we do not clean them they clog.
