Detailed explanation-1: -Beginning in roughly 2500 BCE, a shift in temperatures and weather patterns over the Indus valley caused summer monsoon rains to gradually dry up, making agriculture difficult or impossible near Harappan cities, says Liviu Giosan, a geologist at WHOI and lead author on the paper that published Nov.
Detailed explanation-2: -India’s first civilization developed in the Indus Valley because the Indus river system brings a steady source of irrigation water to the Indus Valley that made farming in this otherwise dry region possible. Regular river flooding also deposited fertile soil that was good for crops.
Detailed explanation-3: -In addition to tall mountains, the subcontinent has several great rivers. These include the Ganges (GAN•JEEZ) and the Indus. Like other rivers you have studied, these two rivers carry water for irrigation. The silt they deposit makes the land fertile.
