Dholavira, located near Khadir Bet in the Great Rann of Kachchh of Gujarat, is an incredible example of the Indus Valley civilisation's towns.
The area of the civilisation was larger than that of today's Western Europe. Dholavira perched at one end of it on a small island, possibly surrounded then by the sea.
In a unique geographical location, Dholavira was literally a paradise in the desert.
Archaeologists believe that the 5,000-year-old town must have been a lovely city of lakes in its heyday. In fact, the residents of Dholavira, who had settled in the town between two water streams, Mansar and Manhar, collected their waters in the monsoon and used that for the rest of the year with clever water-storing and -collecting techniques.
The New Delhi-based Centre for Science and Technology believes that ancient Dholavira has a lot to teach the modern water-starved world about water collection, usage and storage.
