Detailed explanation-1: -The Valley is also watered by seven rivers (and their tributaries) that emerge from the mountains North of Punjab and flow through what would otherwise be a desert region, known as Sindh. The climate today in the Indus Valley is semi-arid, watered by winter rains, seasonal streams, and human landscaping.
Detailed explanation-2: -Indus civilisation decline: Core evidence for Late Holocene climate change. The socially complex and highly urbanised Indus Valley Civilisation began a sustained decline around 3900 cal yr BP (calendar years before present). This decline has been linked with abrupt climate change starting at 4200 cal yr BP.
Detailed explanation-3: -Answer and Explanation: Monsoons had a huge effect on ancient India. For example, the Indus Valley civilization was able to develop because of the fertile soil that the rains from the monsoons produced. This allowed agriculture to thrive in the Indus Valley civilization (also called Harappa).
