Neher water system

The Neher water system consists of interconnected canals, aqueducts, and sluice gates that distribute water throughout the city of Aurangabad from the Musi River.

Malik Ambar initiated the construction of this water supply network in 1612, completing the first phase within fifteen months at half the estimated cost.

The water system influenced the development of local communities, as its surrounding areas became central points for social gatherings and daily activities.

Four historical waterways from the original system continue to supply water to Aurangabad residents, complementing modern infrastructure developments initiated during the Nizam period.

The network includes underground masonry pipes connecting fourteen principal watercourses, with the most substantial one drawing water from a river near Harsul.
