Can you say what kinds of changes will building of cities have on the land and water around them?
Answer»
With the beginning of agriculture and use of better tools give rise to larger, more elaborate and commodious housing and the construction of community ritual centres.
Sun-dried bricks, interwoven branches usually plastered with mud and stone structures were associated with early agricultural communities.
Houses in early agricultural settlements included special storage areas. They were centered on clay or stone hearths that were ventilated by a hole in the roof.
To defend their cities from the rival nomadic settlements, they fortified their cities.
The people had devised ways of storing rain water and rechanneling river water to irrigate plants.
The reservoirs and canals, dikes and sluices that permitted water storage were constructed.
