Anthony Martinez - Princeton:
During the Mesopotamian time the people there had a lot of problems to live because they used to have floods in the rivers and they use to get all clogged up, also when it was really hot the rivers use to dried up. The people there struggle with the weather and because of that the water was bad for them because the river was dry and during the floods the water was black and contaminated, and when the population got bigger the Sumerians were not able to farm.
