In the early 19th century, Karachi's watering troughs were recognized for their architectural significance.[1][2] These structures were primarily constructed from Gizri stone, a material no longer commonly used.[3] They reflected various European architectural styles prevalent in Karachi during its annexation period.[1]
Initially, these troughs played a crucial role in the city's infrastructure.[1] They provided water access to low-income workers and the general populace.[1] However, with technological advancements such as electrical pumps and the shift to motorized vehicles, there was a reduced reliance on animal-drawn carts. Consequently, the water troughs' relevance diminished.[1]
At least 30 watering troughs were built during British Raj.[2] Some of these structures have been demolished.[1] Below is a list of watering troughs located in Karachi:
