Answer 1

The most accurate comparison is that **the Mesopotamians used a series of crisscrossing channels** to manage the water supply for their crops. While Egyptians primarily relied on basin irrigation to manage the Nile's flooding and water their crops, Mesopotamians developed an intricate system of canals and channels to divert water from the Tigris and Euphrates rivers for their agricultural needs.
