Solution

The cities of the Indus Valley civilisation were well-planned. The drainage system was no exception. The bathrooms of every house had sloped floors, which were connected to the main street drain. The kitchen in the cities and the Great Bath of Mohenjodaro also had drains connecting to the main street drain. These covered drains were made of bricks that were cleaned regularly. The main street drain ran along the sides of the main street.
