Which of the following archaeological sites provide evidence of awareness and technical skill of Harappans for the water resource management ? (a) Dholavira (b) Mohenjodaro (c) Harappa (d) Kalibangan Select the correct answer from the code given below: Correct Answer (a) and (b)

  • The Harappan civilization was an urban civilization; archaeological excavations of different sites belonging to this civilization have yielded evidence of planned structures that were designed for various kinds of uses.

  • The sites of Dholavira and Mohenjadaro are remarkable for the structures related to water management.
  • Mohenjodaro is known for its large number of wells and the remains of the Great Bath, which historians suggest must have been used for some kind of ritualistic bathing.

  • Dholavira on the other hand, located near the Rann of Kutch was a port city, as excavations have revealed water reservoirs made of sandstone and mud- bricks. The city has thus revealed an interesting water harvesting and management system with the presence of dams that directed water to the reservoir.

  • Hence option 1 is correct.
