The baolis were the major source of drinking water for the populace of the city and they can be seen in various parts of the northern part of the country, though Delhi was said to have the majority of them.
There are any number of baolis in the capital which are now lying abandoned and the credit for building them goes to the emperors and the kings of yesteryears who took pains to ensure that the people did not go thirsty on account of the scorching heat that prevailed then and also prevails today.
The baolis in the capital generally have two long side walls, buttressed by an arc or two, which form part of the short wall opposite the steps that lead to the baoli(well).
