Which process allowed larger Mesopotamian settlement when seasonal floods saturated fields?

💡 Explanation

Controlled waterlogging amelioration prevented salt build-up, using gravity's capillary action; otherwise, evaporation would deposit accumulating salts, because Mesopotamia's flat land hindered draining, therefore reducing soil fertility, rather than simply supplying more fertilizer and water or breeding tolerance.
