• At the onset, 33,00,000 litres of water was required to be pumped out and fed into adjoining baolis.
  • 450 cu. m. of stone debris and silt was removed from the 21 m deep bed of the Baoli
  • Over 4,000 man-days of work was required to clear the Baoli of collapsed masonry
  • Structural assessment of the Baoli was carried out by national and international consultants before reconstruction of the wall.
  • Alternate channelization of the surface water to negate the enormous water pressure on the retaining wall thus allowing long term preservation.
  • Monitoring of the structure built to ensure it attains required strength before commencement of further works.
