Ancient Irrigation Systems: The foundation of civilization is agriculture but without water, crops cannot grow. Ancient people developed complex systems to bring water to their crops so that the seeds of civilization could grow. Questions below:

1. Approximately when do archeologists believe people began to grow and harvest crops?
2. What is a basin-type irrigation system?
3. What is a swap or shaduf?
4. How far could some aqueducts built by the Romans stretch?
5. Why do you think leaving water sitting on a field for long periods of time was good for the crops?
