Outcome:-

 Restoring traditional water storage structures such as baoris and naulas can play a pivotal role in fostering accountability and significantly reducing water scarcity. Moreover, this restoration has the potential to boost tourism without necessitating substantial investments in infrastructure.

In essence, addressing the water shortage in the era of urbanization requires the revitalization of both the religious and visual connections with water sources. The restoration of these traditional links, adapted to the present world, offers a promising solution to the water scarcity issue, forming essential connections that are indispensable for creating an ideal city. In this vision, the convergence of traditional wisdom and modernization becomes the key to building a sustainable and water-resilient urban future.
