Thanks for the pics Marathaman. This thread is indeed unique and special.

I never knew there were such excellent water resourviors built by ancient rulers of India.

I hope India's current rulers learn some lessons from the past. Water is a huge problem in India. Proper water management holds the key to the development and growth of India especially its vast rural population which depends on agriculture.

I was recently in Shanghai, China. It receives not more than 20 to 30% rains that Mumbai gets. Still it has 24hr water supply...unlike Mumbai which gets ony a few hours of water daily.

This is a series of interconnected water structures linked to a canal system and dam with sluice gates. The location is Patan, Gujarat (approx 10th-11th century AD, Solanki dynasty)
