In some cases it has been found that a drain was placed much too close to a well, so that a certain amount of seepage from one to the other must inevitably have taken place. Perhaps this was not so serious a matter as it sounds, especially if the well was in constant use, for the people of the city were, no doubt, more or less immune to typhoid; but a case of cholera in the vicinity of a well would have produced very serious results. - [Previous: c5.54](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.mackay-1935.c5.54) - [Next: c5.56](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.mackay-1935.c5.56) - [Up: c5](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.mackay-1935.c5) ## Linked texts (1) - [Mohenjo-daro](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.site.mohenjo-daro) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.mackay-1935.c5.55](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.mackay-1935.c5.55) · Pramāṇa
