Despite the fact that humans are newcomers to Earth, their achievements have been enormous. One of those achievements is the skill to control the water flow.
One of the first successful efforts to control the flow of water were made in Mesopotamia and Egypt where the remains of the prehistoric irrigation works still exist. One of the first duties of pharaohs was the construction of canals. They were used for controlled flooding of large areas near the Nile when its level rose. Similar successful attempts for controlled irrigation were made in many regions, such as: North America, Mexico, China and Korea.
