A successful strategy to reduce evaporation, to protect plants from both drying hot and cold winds and to conserve water is the sunken walled garden. Here we see a grandiose garden in a massive fort complex and a modest urban vegetable garden, in the arid zone of western Rajasthan, India, both sunken below the nearby ground level and both with high walls.
