Ancient Stepwells Help Curb India's Water Crisis | BBC Future
In a nation where 600 million people face severe water shortages daily, stepwells are not just useful for water storage but form an important focal point of communities and their heritage.
Stepwells are multi-storied subterranean structures with significant ornamental and architectural features. They usually have two parts: a vertical shaft of water and the cascading galleries, chambers and a flight of orchestrated steps.
Evidence of stepwells dates back to the Indus Valley Civilization between 2500-1700 BC. Initially constructed as crude trenches, they slowly evolved into engineering marvels between 11th-15th Century.
And in recent years, many of these ancient edifices are being restored to help tackle India's acute water problem.
