favorable for farming. The continuous supplies of minerals‚ silt‚ left over from the flooding replenish the soil. Also‚ many archeologists found ditches that indicate that the Mesopotamians had an irrigation system. The placement of dikes suggests that the Mesopotamians used them in order to get rid of excess water from the flooding. Also‚ by using this system‚ the Mesopotamians will have a supply of water throughout the city and excess silt won’t layer the ground. However‚ it is through flooding that

Cyanobacteria‚ due to being photosynthetic requires the water to be shallow‚ so they can reach the bottom of the ‘water column’ and to have water currents to provide them with the right amount of silt for the stromatolites to cement the silt with the limestone they get from the water‚ without being overwhelmed by the silt. Stromatolites can exist in places very few life forms can tolerate. For example‚ they can be found today in hyper-saline lakes and aquatic environments where the salt level is so high‚ it
