While the Indus River itself provided water for drinking, agriculture and boats shipping freight, it was the people of the Indus Valley who made use of the river and the land to their benefit.

The Indus Valley Civilization was most completely destroyed by natural disasters such as climate change. Flooding of the Indus River and changes in the monsoon patterns are believed to have contributed to the decline of this ancient civilization.
Tectonic shifts caused a major river, the Sarasvati/Ghaggar river, to dry up. There were also changes in the monsoon rains which caused floods followed by droughts, so that most of the people left.

Farmers of the Indus Valley faced significant environmental challenges due to the unpredictable flooding of the Indus River, which could lead to both droughts and excessive flooding, disrupting agricultural cycles. In contrast, the Sumerians and Egyptians experienced more predictable river behaviors with the Tigris, Euphrates, and Nile rivers, allowing for more stable agricultural practices. Additionally, the Indus Valley farmers dealt with the decline of monsoon rains, which further complicated their agricultural sustainability. These factors contributed to the eventual decline of Indus Valley civilization.
