The Coastal Plain Adaptations

One adaptation the Arabs used to help grow crops in the coastal plain was irrigation.  This allowed them to get water to their crops by using dams, wells, and other systems. They stored rainwater in canals and reservoirs and used it to aid them in growing their crops.  Another adaptation the Arabs on the coastal plains developed was a system of trade.  Since they had access to seaports along the coast, they traded with other cultures across the waters.
