Stepwell | વાવ

An Iconic Water Storage Monument

Vishakha Info

#WondersOfEngineering: Many of India's surviving #Stepwells are architectural marvels. Known variously as baoris, baolis and vav, stepwells were designed to fill and empty with the changing seasons.

Chand Baori, in Rajasthan, is perhaps India's most striking stepwell. Some 3500 steps topple down the sides of the enormous central tank, arranged in an intricate criss-cross pattern that recalls the facets of a cut diamond.

In #Rajasthan, Northwest #India, kids get relief from the desert climate by leaping into ancient #stepwells scattered around cities and towns. This example from Jodhpur dates to the early 1700s and is over 60m deep. With summer temperatures topping 40C and this region predicted to suffer increased climate change induced #drought, #water shortages are poised to return.
India’s ancient stepwells are not just architectural marvels, but also water-saving solutions. These subterranean structures collect and store rainwater, providing a stable source for communities in drought-prone areas. As India faces a severe water crisis, restoring these historic wells could be a key to conservation. #stepwells #watercrisis #india https://www.dw.com/en/can-indias-ancient-stepwells-solve-its-water-crisis/a-67091265?utm_source=flipboard&utm_content=HariTulsidas%2Fmagazine%2FArchetypes
