Detailed explanation-1: -Seasonal winds called monsoons greatly influenced life in the Indus River Valley. The dry and wet seasons due to the monsoons made life unpredictable in that there could either be floods or a massive drought in the Indian subcontinent.
Detailed explanation-2: -This process brings large amounts of rainfall to the region during June and July. These monsoons make the Indus River flooding unpredictable because although there were two monsoon seasons, the amount of rain could never be predicted.
Detailed explanation-3: -Arguably, the current planform behaviour of the Indus River is broadly predictable. Between Chashma and Taunsa, Pakistan, the Indus is a 264-km-long multiple-channel reach.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Nile River, on the other hand, is one of the most predictable rivers in the world. Flooding occurs every year at regular times and (all things considered) with remarkably little variation in intensity. For 7, 000 years prior to construction of the Aswan High Dam, people lived and farmed along the Nile.
