By building irrigation systems (gates, dykes, canals) they could make their lands fertile, otherwise most of it would have remained desert, and the floods would have desrtoyed everything along the big rivers. Farming and, together with it, watering, was essential to development of early civilisations.

Water is important to a civilization because you need water to survive. Animals also need water. Water can also be used for growing plants and a way of transportation.
