What was built at Dholavira to store water?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Large reservoirs
Dholavira contained large reservoirs designed to collect and store rainwater and runoff from nearby channels. These structures demonstrate planned water conservation suited to the region’s dry environment. Household pots could hold small quantities of water, but they were not city-scale infrastructure. Ships and underground palaces have no connection with the excavated water-management system.
