The Indus River

The Indus River was an adequate resource used by the Indus people although it was also very destructive.  Every year there would be the time of the seasonal floods in which the people would both greatly benefit and suffer from.  The Indus Valley people used a well known method for leading water inland called irrigation.  The river carried a very fertile soil called silt, which was extrodinary for agriculture if the right amount flooded the valley.  If the valley was hit harshly by over flooding, the crops would be destroyed along with much of the cities.  The very powerful Indus River was very destructive, but greatly utilized by the intelligence of the Indus people.
