Map of NW India showing the location of paleolake Karsandi (white triangle) and other paleolake records (black triangles). Orange circles denote the Indus settlements in northwest India and the red dots are the urban Indus centres. White lines are isohyets (mm) between 1900 and 2008. Inset shows location of the main map in relation to the limits of the Indian subcontinent. Rainfall isohyets were extracted from the University of Delaware monthly global gridded high resolution station (land) data set of precipitation from 1900–2008 (v2.01).
