Negative connotations of indus valley
Answers
Answer:
he positive impacts are demonstrated in the following possible benefits and uses of the multipurpose river valley projects:
provides work
eliminates flooding
provides power
provides water for human consumption
helps to conserve water
provides water for agriculture
provides water for industrial uses
provides for a fishery where one may not have existed before
changes the ecology of the region
opens new areas to agriculture
Negative impacts may include:
they lead to the displacement of human, plants, animals, chiefly from small tribal communities;
disrupt downstream fisheries;
increase the risk of earthquakes;
submerge forest land;
increase the spread of insect-borne diseases; and
threaten the fragile regional ecosystem through reducing, the flow of water from the rivers into the seas.
These projects initially devastate human lives and biodiversity by inundating thousands of acres of forests and agricultural land.
They degrade the fertile agricultural soils due to continuous irrigation (rather the seasonal irrigation which is dependent on the monsoon), and salinization, making the soil toxic to many plant species. .
Explanation:
Answer:
Indus is a large river in Eastern Pakistan,near the border of India.The Indus valley civilisation flourished from 4th to the middle of the 2nd century BC in the valleys of this river and its tributaries. It was one of the earliest and the biggest civilisation of the world. Archaeologists found its remains in 1922. First a small part over thousand colonies was excavated. It was the centre of trade and business. Products were sent to Sumer in Mesopotamia. There were no magnificent buildings or temples, but a planned layout, right angled streets with living quarters, and a system for drinking and waste water were some of the things discovered here. It is not known why the Civilisation perished by around 1700 BC.
