The floods in Mesopotamia improved the soil in the area, allowing for more widespread agriculture. Most of the soil in the region was salty and sandy and not suitable for farming. The floods brought silt, which made the soil fertile. The silt from the floods contained nutrients and minerals that helped crops to thrive.
How did flooding help and harm farmers in Mesopotamia?
How did the flooding of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers both help and hurt farmers? They helped with fertile soil to help plant crops and they hurt them for flooding their crops. Floods were unpredictable.
Hoped that helped:)
