Summary

Bangladesh's water heritage, encompassing purposefully created ponds and lakes alongside religious and cultural monuments, remains understudied despite its historical significance. This research identifies and analyzes such water-related sites from UNESCO's tentative list, focusing on their architectural and monumental integration with water management practices from centuries ago. By employing case study analysis, the study aims to highlight the often-overlooked historical context and importance of these sites, providing a fresh perspective on water heritage conservation. The findings underscore the need for proper management of these sites while contributing to broader discussions on cultural and environmental preservation in Bangladesh.
