	This massive system fulfilled multiple needs. It provided the city with the water necessary for daily consumption, hygiene, a sewer system, etc. It played a crucial role in irrigating the cultivated lands around Baghdad, turning them into the breadbasket of the city and its growing suburbs. Linked by canals, the Tigris and the Euphrates were also essential communication and trading routes of worldwide importance, used to bring goods and people from the {{Wiki\|Indian Ocean}} to the [[Mediterranean Sea\|Mediterranean]] region. Finally, the water system could easily turn into a useful defensive feature when needed. Most of the bridges over Baghdad were in fact on [[wood]]en pontoons which could be disconnected or even destroyed in case of attacks.		This massive system fulfilled multiple needs.
