Irrigation was extremely vital to Mesopotamia, Greek for “the land between the rivers.” Flooding problems were more serious in Mesopotamia than in Egypt because the Tigris and Euphrates carried several times more silt per unit volume of water than the Nile. Water was hoisted using the swape, as in Egypt.

Mesopotamia is located in the region now known as the Middle East, which includes parts of southwest Asia and lands around the eastern Mediterranean Sea. Situated in the fertile valleys between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, the region is now home to modern-day Iraq, Kuwait, Turkey and Syria.

Doab is a piece of land lying between two converging rivers, like that at the converging point of Ganga and Yamuna, two most important rivers of India. The doabs are low-lying lands between the rivers, which are immensely fertile due to the depositions brought by the river waters, thus are ideal for farming.
