Birkha Bawari, Contemporary stepwell in Jodhpur, India.
The red sandstone structure incorporates traditional water collection methods with modern engineering to create an efficient water storage system with multiple levels.
Completed in 2009, this stepwell follows the architectural principles of ancient Indian water reservoirs that sustained communities through periods of drought.
The design by architect Anu Mridul combines traditional Indian water management techniques with contemporary architectural elements to serve the local community.
With a storage capacity of 17.5 million liters, the stepwell provides water for the residents of Umaid Heritage Housing Township throughout the year.
The structure earned the All India Stone Architecture Award in 2009 for its innovative approach to water conservation in an urban setting.
