Answer:
The drainage system was well-planned. Each house had a connection with the main drain. The sewage pipes and drains were separate from drains collecting rainwater. Terracotta drain pipes directed waste water into open street drains made of burnt bricks. These connected to large drains along the main streets which emptied their contents in to fields outside the city wall. The main drains were covered by stone slabs. There were rectangular soak pits for solid waste at regular intervals. This was the world's first sanitation system. The people were very particular about personal hygiene. They made arrangements for availability of clean water. Mohenjo-Daro is noted for its large number of wells.
