Lake Pichola Waterfront August 02' 2017 Urban Précis TeamLeave a comment Lake Pichola Waterfront in Udaipur – Urban locations have been prominently affected by vicinity to water bodies. Sources of fresh water have historically attracted settlement of lands. Another reason for settlement near major water bodies like seas has been ease of trade. Many a time water bodies have been artificially curated to sustain towns and cities. Udaipur features one such artificial network of lakes which in modern times serve additional purpose of facilitating tourism. Management of such water infrastructure forms large part of sustaining urban centres. #water #city #urban #lake #cityscape #infrastructure #tourism #rajasthan #india #basic #sustainable A post shared by Urban Précis (@urbanprecis) on Aug 2, 2017 at 12:18am PDT
