This evidence suggests technology can influence Mesopotamian society to keep their crops safe in case of flooding. This is because in case of Mesopotamia going into a flood, this can keep the crops in control to help their crops not get ruined and destroyed, and will still have the stable food supply.

The Fertile Crescent is a small area surrounded by very dry land. This means space for farming was limited, unless people could invent a way to transport water. The Sumerians knew that without a stable food supply, they wouldn't not survive. This led them to invent new tools and structures to support farmers and their crops, such as the plow, levee, and canal. These irrigation tools helped them grow enough food to live on.

The Mesopotamian also invented the wheel, which also has been used on chariots. Finally, Mesopotamian invented the sail, or the sailboat, for transportation across the water.

The water for these irrigation systems was brought to the fields by canals. The largest of these were connected directly from the rivers and supplied water to smaller canals which supplied yet smaller channels, leading all the way down to small irrigation ditches.

in conclusion, Mesopotamian society definitely had an influence on technology. If they didn't have or invent these things, they wouldn't have been stable or wouldn't be able to do most things that they do today.
