4,500 years ago, a Harappan city was already setting an example in sustainable water management! Located in the arid landscape of Kachchh, Gujarat,Dholavira developed an advanced water management system despite having no perennial river to depend on Through strategically designed reservoirs, drainage channels, wells, and rainwater harvesting systems, the city captured, stored, and distributed seasonal water to sustain its settlement Recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2021, Dholavira stands as a remarkable example of ancient engineering and resource management Its lessons remain just as relevant today: water security isn't only about finding more water, but about managing the water we have intelligently At the Indian Plumbing Association, we continue to advocate for efficient, sustainable, and resilient water management practices that build on this enduring principle #IndianPlumbingAssociation #Dholavira #WaterConservation #SustainableWaterManagement #AncientEngineering #WaterSecurity #PlumbingInnovation #Sustainability #UNESCOWorldHeritage
