2025 Watch List : Bhuj Historic Water Systems, India | World Monument Fund

January 18, 2025

The 2025 World Monuments Watch aims to increase awareness of Bhuj’s historic water systems and support rehabilitation efforts. Ingenious rainwater collection systems have fallen out of use in favour of modern infrastructure—but as India's water crisis deepens, revitalising this heritage technology could foster resource security.
