What was the impact of farming on the development of the Mesopotamian civilization?

Although Mesopotamia had fertile soil, farming wasn't easy there. The region received little rain. This meant that the water levels in the Tigris and Euphrates rivers depended on how much rain fell in eastern Asia Minor where the two rivers began. When water levels were too low, crops dried up.

an economic reason that the south needed a reconstruction plan is that plantations, factories, and other businesses were destroyed during the war.
