WATER WELLS
A step well in Osiyan surrounded by the town.
In the semi-arid and desert regions of Rajasthan where water is at a premium, wells are an important feature. They are typically financed by rulers or wealthy merchants. During our travels we saw at least three types of well. One, a kuan, was located in the courtyard of Dundlod fort (no photograph taken). The kuan stood in one corner of the courtyard. It's platform was raised above the ground level. The well itself was surrounded by tall pillars between which a wooden pulley wheel was set. Ropes would be used to raise and lower the water container. On the road between Dundlod and Bikaner, we stopped to inspect a johara well (see photographs below). Johara wells consist of a large rectangular masonry-lined pit which fills during the monsoon rains. The bottom level is usually dug at the lowest point in the topography. The floor of the well gradually steps down giving access to the water level as it changes. The well we visited also had a ramp which entered the well at one side allowing sheep and cattle to use the well. Most johara wells contain decorative arches and domes. Ours was no exception. In Osiyan we saw an impressive step well (see photographs below). The well is constructed of a brick lined pit dug to below the water level. A series of steps, constructed in the walls in a decorative X pattern, allow access to the water. Unfortunately, many of these wells have dried up as the water table has sunk.

Water Conservation News
As producers throughout the nation grow increasingly concerned about water scarcity, farmers, ranchers and agricultural educators are beginning to explore new, conservation-oriented approaches to water use. They are managing soil to improve infiltration, selecting drought-tolerant crops and native forages, and designing innovative runoff collection systems. We have found over teh past two decades that adjusting the reservoir capacity of the soil is the most effective way of conserving water in agriculture. Nevada Recreation Inc has proven this course of action in Nevada, California, Europe North Africa and the Middle East over the past 20 years.
