Monumental Architecture and Urban Planning: Sewage and Water Systems
The cities of the Indus valley were known for their water management. Most of the proof have been found around the areas of the cities of Harappa, Mohenjo-daro and Dholavira. They had well-built wells, tanks, public baths, a wide drinking system and a city sewage system. The people of Mohenjo-daro had built the worlds first known main drainage system. It was a central system that connected every household in the city. Every house had a drinking water well with a private bathroom. Waste pipes would carry sewage from each home into covered channels that ran along the centers of the city's main streets into the nearby agricultural fields, rivers, or streams. The drains took waste from kitchens, bathrooms, and indoor toilets.
