Disequilibrium in a large catchment recording the lowest rainfall rates in Borneo, and adjacent drainage basins as determined through X, a proxy for steady–state channel elevation, is shown to result in dynamic migration of water divide from the windward-side of the orogen towards the leeward-side to attain equilibrium. The district is drained by Gadilam River and Pennaiyar River in the north, Vellar River and Kollidam River in south. Based on (a) the location of Dholavira along tsunami/storm prone coast, (b) climatic scenario during the mid-Holocene with special reference to higher sea-level and (c) lack of proto-historic military evidences, we hypothesize that walls may have acted as defense against tsunami/sea storm.

Five stages of landscape development are envisaged: First, inheritance of river basins from palaeodrainage systems; second, reversal of river flow directions during early part of Cenozoic and inception of evolution of modern river systems; third, during Miocene-Pliocene; fourth, during Pleistocene-Early Holocene; and fifth, during the Holocene-Anthropocene.

Ground-penetrating radar processing and interpretation methods have been developed over time that usually follow a certain standard pathway, which leads from obtaining the raw reflection data to the production of amplitude slice-maps for three-dimensional visualization.

In sand dunes in coastal Brazil, geological complexity obscured the reflections from otherwise hidden anthropogenic strata, and only an analysis of multiple profiles using different scales and processing allowed this small buried feature to be visible.

The vehicle driving side in Kollidam is left, all vehicles should take left side during driving. The occurrence of flood deposits burying historic structures especially adjoining the regional tectonic structure indicate episodically active climatic and tectonic processes that played a significant role in the burial of ancient‐historic land surface and manmade structures that were under desolation after invasion and desecration by war‐lords of yore.
