There are only 4 reasons that the Indus River Valley may have ended but here they are.

1.Aryans might have invaded

2.Drought

3.Indus River changed courses

4.Too much flooding and destroyed crops

-----

Well your wrong. How can there be a drought and excessive flooding?

The four reasons are:

1.) Aryan invasions

2.) Decreases in trade

3.) Recurring floods

4.) Earthquakes and tectonic uplifts

-----

Actually, it is possible to have drought and flooding, just not at the same time, but that does not mean the first list is better.

There is a link below to an article people can read to discover the latest official version of how the Harappan disappeared.
