Describe the plumbing features of houses in Mohenjodaro.

In most ancient cities, water was retrieved from a central well or river. People usually dumped their wastes into open drainages or ditches. Only the rich and affluent had separate bathrooms. In contrast to this, the people of the Indus Valley civilisation developed a very advanced system of plumbing.

In Mohenjodaro, almost every household had a private bathroom and toilet. The toilets were built neatly of bricks. There were pipes which connected each household to the underground sewer system. Through these pipes, waste water was drained into the sewer. Therefore, the people of the Indus Valley civilisation developed a very advanced plumbing system which was unparalleled.
