Ali Mardan Khan was also an eminent engineer. He is credited with supervising construction of several royal buildings in Kashmir and digging of the Delhi canal, which runs between the Red Fort and the old city. The water supply system of Shalimar Gardens in Kashmir (Gulmarg) was also planned by him. But the project he is best known for is the hydraulic system of Lahore’s Shalamar Gardens. A canal was brought from Madhopur headworks on the Ravi to the “Versailles of the Punjab.” Water was supplied to the gardens through a three-tier lift irrigation system which was 30 feet higher that the ground level.
