Unfolding Aqueduct System of Stepwell at Nahargarh, Jaipur

The ancient aqueduct system of the Bawri-Stepwell at Nahargarh Fort, Jaipur, demonstrates a sophisticated water conservation technique that effectively channels rainwater and hill catchment water into stepwells without mechanical energy. This system, designed with gradient-based canals and underground channels, showcases the ingenuity of Rajasthan's ancient rulers in addressing water scarcity. The study, based on live surveys and literature reviews, highlights how this traditional method could be rejuvenated to mitigate current water crises. Such findings underscore the potential of historical water management practices in sustainable solutions for modern challenges.
