All three statements were correct. Salinization was extremely high so the crops couldn't grow so people were starving often. The nomads did invade and sacked their cities on numerous occassions which weakened them. The poor drainage was also a problem and floods would ruin what croups they did manage to grow. In the end, they were conquered by Sargon.
