Ennugi was associated with irrigation, though he was not the only Mesopotamian god responsible for it.[1] His epithets highlight his agricultural character.[2] He could be called the "lord of dike and ditch"[3] or the "lord of the field and ploughmen."[2] He is also mentioned in the text Lipit-Ishtar and the Plow as one of multiple deities partaking in fieldworks, the other ones being Ninurta, Lisin, Suen, Nuska and Ninamaškuga.[4]
