How did rivers influence the growth of civilization in Mesopotamia? Include the following: flooding, irrigation, trade routes. The Tigris and Euphrates rivers made civilization in Mesopotamia possible. When it rained in the mountains the rivers flooded. As the rivers flow down the mountains they pick up more dirt and that dirt spins around at it goes. The water overflows onto the floodplain leaving behind fertile soil. This is where the Mesopotamians grew crops. If they were able to get more than enough or a surplus, because of irrigation then specialization can occur. Eventually they are able to use the rivers as trade routes and get more items they need to survive. Without all of this they cannot survive.
