Baolis

1) Baolis were stepwells and reservoirs constructed in India to store rainwater and groundwater for drinking and other daily uses. 2) They featured steps leading down to water storage areas and were located in arid regions due to water scarcity. 3) Rajon Ki Baoli is a stepwell in Delhi believed to have been built by Daulat Khan during the reign of Sikander Lodhi. Only the top floor is visible above ground while most of the structure is underground.
