Udaipur has long been self-sufficient in its water supply through its indigenous system of interconnected water bodies which lend it the title, 'City of Lakes'. The city's history and culture are enriched with this natural element that features in many of paintings and traditional practices. Thus, Architectural growth in the city today must be conscious of the importance of this water network and must not seek to impose on or modify it. Development must be respectful of heritage and not superior to it.
