Detailed explanation-1: -Unlike Egypt and Mesopotamia, however, the Harappans did not attempt to develop irrigation to support agriculture. Instead, they relied on the annual monsoons, which allowed the accumulation of large agricultural surpluses–which, in turn, allowed the creation of cities.
Detailed explanation-2: -The slow eastward migration of monsoons across the Asian continent initially supported the formation of the Harappan civilization in the Indus valley by allowing production of large agricultural surpluses, then decimated the civilization as water supplies for farming dried up, researchers reported Monday.
Detailed explanation-3: -The heavy rainfall of the monsoon season also greatly supported agricultural activities. As a result of the river’s highly nutritious water, the Indus Valley was able to produce great surpluses of food for their civilisation.
Detailed explanation-4: -The summer monsoon provides rain for India’s crops. But these rains can also cause severe floods. A monsoon is a seasonal wind. India and Pakistan have two main monsoons: a summer monsoon and a winter monsoon.
