Irrigation allowed farms to be further away from rivers. Irrigation is an artificial way to bring water to the land or soil.

Farming
Irrigation systems played a large role in the development of civilization because these systems allowed farming to begin in areas away from the coasts or from rivers. This meant that civilizations were able to spread inland and grow larger.
Irrigation was important to agriculture in Mesopotamia because of the semiarid climate, the climate is hot and dry and gets less than 10 in. of rain a year. The climate reflects how the crops grow and the crops need a good supply and source of water so they can be plentiful. Since the climate of Mesopotamia gets a shortage of rain, the irrigation system, that transports the water from the river to the crops, is very important. Without the irrigation system, there would be no crops, and without crops, people would starve, and if people starved than there wouldn't be any people, and that wouldn't be good at all. This is why it's important to have irrigation for agriculture in Mesopotamia.

So they could water their farms.
Irrigation ditches are manmade channels that deliver water to homes, farms, industries and other human uses.

Irrigation systems are used to provide water to crops in a controlled manner to ensure proper growth and yield. They help maintain consistent soil moisture levels, even in areas with limited rainfall, and can improve crop quality and productivity. Additionally, irrigation systems help prevent water waste and optimize water use efficiency in agriculture.
Irrigation sprinklers are the most common on farms.
