The Egyptians are typically credited with the idea of irrigation. In about 5000 B.C. the Egyptians used the Nile River to create the first irrigation system. History indicates that other civilizations were using irrigation around the same time. For example, it is recorded that the Sumerians used irrigation as early as 2400 B.C. and the Chinese by 2200 B.C. Believed to have built very sophisticated irrigation systems early on, the Peruvians are another example.

Hmm, I thought it was the Roman's, but I suppose it could have been the Persians if they started the irrigation system 2,400 years ago.
