The ancient Indus Valley Civilisation was prominent in hydraulic engineering and had many water supply and sanitation devices that were first of its kind.

Among the other things, they contain the world's earliest known flush toilets. These existed in many homes and were connected to a common sewerage pipe.

City walls functioned as barrier against floods.

Great Bath in Mohenjodaro is the earliest public water tank of the world. It measures 11.88*7.01 metres and has depth of 2.43 metres. Two wide staircases served as entry to the structure. A hole was found at one end of the bath which might have been used to drain water. The floor tank was made water tight by the use of gypsum plaster and bitumen.

The roads at that time cut each other at right angles and they had a remarkable arrangement of houses in the cities in form of grid pattern.
