Answer:
The Indus Valley people had constructed their drainage system on very scientific lines, it was one of the most striking feature of this Harappan civilizations (Indus Valley Civilization)
House drains emptied themselves into the main drains which ran under the main streets and below many lanes. The Harappan people well knew that such drains were not to be left open.
The drainage system and drains were covered with bricks or stones and were provided with inspection traps and main holes at regular intervals for inspection. Every care was taken that the house-wives did not throw refuse or dirt in the drains. Every house had its own soak-pit which collected all the sediments and allowed only the water to flow into the street drain. The elaborate drainage system of the Harappan people shows that they had developed a high sense of health and sanitation.
While, roadways in Mohen-Jo-Daro were also planned elaborately. They were 9.75 meters wide. So, many vehicles could pass by at the same time. There were two main roads, one going from north to south and east to west.
The town planning of Mohen-Jo-Daro is the best where houses were built on high plinth to protect from floods. Every house had a kitchen, bathroom, well and a gutter.
The main entrance of houses opened in side lanes. A wall was built around the hilly area which encircle the whole town.
