-A few steps away, the small opening of a tunnel materialises into view. The pond and the tunnel are part of a 16th century water management system called ‘Surang Bawadi’ in Karnataka’s Vijayapura city which has just been included in the World Monument Watch list for 2020 along with 24 other monuments from across the world.
-−
-The list, prepared by the World Monuments Fund (WMF), a New York-based organisation, includes heritage sites in need of urgent action. WMF partners with stakeholders to design and implement activities for conservation. Suranga Bawadi was chosen from among 250 shortlisted sites across the globe as part of traditional water systems of the Deccan Plateau. It was nominated by Syed Mehriz Khatib, a Vijayapurabased heritage enthusiast, after he felt the need to conserve traditional water systems in India.
-−
-“On a visit to Iran, I saw traditional water systems in use, providing water and drawing tourists. Vijayapura’s water systems have similar potential,” said Khatib, who will coordinate with WMF to revive the water channels. “Amount of funds for the restoration is yet to be decided,” he said.
-−
-Surang Bawadi is an integral part of the ancient Karej system that supplied water through subterranean tunnels in the 16th century during the Adil Shahi period. The system is known to be environmentally sustainable as it employs water harvesting and conveyance techniques through which groundwater can be obtained without causing damage to the tapped aquifer. Vijayapura, known as Bijapur back then, did not have major water resources in the region.
-−
-Adil Shahi kings made arrangements to ensure adequate supply through distribution of tanks, wells and water towers linked by a network of pipes and aqueducts. Many consider it an engineering marvel.
-−
-Over the years, though, the water system fell into disrepair as parts of it falling in private land were blocked to take up construction work.
-−
-“Two years ago, the tunnel of Surang Bawadi was shut by a local landowner. After activists and historians protested, the local government and the ASI reopened the tunnel and installed a board stating it is a protected area,” local social activist Raju V said.
-−
-Mounesh Kuravatti, an official with ASI’s Dharwad circle, under whose jurisdiction Vijayapura’s traditional water system falls, is aware of damages to the structures. “We keep raising awareness that the water network is under ASI protection, yet constructions have come up. As a result, portions of the network have suffered damage. We are drawing up a plan to rejuvenate parts of the system in public land, but the district administration will take a call on whether anything can be done about those in private land.”
-−
-Experts are hopeful that restoration of the system will help meet the city’s requirements. Dr HG Daddi, who has deep knowledge of the subject, said it helped Adil Shahi kings supply adequate water to their kingdom’s 10 lakh people. “Today, despite scientific and technical advance, the administration struggles to meet water needs of the city’s three lakh population,” Daddi said. Last summer, 10 wards of the city’s 35 went bone dry. The crisis is deepening every year, residents said.

 In Rajasthan too, bodies that conserve water are considered pious. Vikram Singh from Barli village said, “Most talaabs and nadis have temples on their banks. They are not just a source of water but sacrosanct for everyone. Water and worship go hand in hand here.”
