Problems in Mesopotamia


Hello my name is Juan, and I'm a Mesopotamian.My family and I have just moved from the Zagros mountains.Here in Mesopotamia in a place called sumer the climate is very hot and it is better than the one in the Zagros mountains.During the whole year it is dry so there are not many crops so there is a food shortage.Also there are not any livestock due to the shortage of water.The only time we get rain is at the end of the year .It rains really hard that the rivers that we live between flood so the little crops that we have are washed away.The solution to this problem was that my fellows and I built a levee.Alevve is a wall made from silt(fine sand).However besides that everything is good.

  7. Besides a levee you also need the cooperation of your city-state to keep your levees and irrigation systems working well. If people do not cooperate then not enough water will travel and irrigate the rest of the villages. My question to you, Juan the Mesopotamian, is what kind of animals would be hardy enough to withstand the harsh climate of Mesopotamia.
