Abstract Since ancient times, managing water has been significant in human civilization. Sophistic water management systems were built in India's Mughal era, which is remembered for its architectural wonders. The Mughal period in India saw substantial developments in water management systems such as wells, canals, and baths. The Kundi Bhandara subterranean water management system in Burhanpur, Madhya Pradesh, is a lesser-known but significant example of their engineering. This research focuses on understanding the historic Mughal water management system and its unique application of the qanat system. The research highlights the sustainable characteristics of this ancient water delivery practice. This study focuses on the case of Burhanpur City in Madhya Pradesh in order to present a thorough understanding of the ancient water management systems from the Mughal era.
This paper investigates the methods and approaches used by the Mughals to manage water resources in Burhanpur by looking at historical documents, and archaeological discoveries, and analyzing the current water structures. The information sheds light on the historical significance of water management in the area and advances our understanding of the city's sustainable water practices.
