What was a major feature of water management at Dholavira?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Large reservoirs for collecting rainwater
Dholavira stood in a relatively dry environment, so planned water conservation was essential. Its inhabitants constructed large reservoirs and channels to collect, store, and regulate rainwater and water from seasonal sources. This evidence makes option A correct. The settlement was not dependent only on household wells or canals, and the water was deliberately stored rather than simply discharged.
