Disclosure to Promote the Right To Information

Whereas the Parliament of India has set out to provide a practical regime of right to information for citizens to secure access to information under the control of public authorities, in order to promote transparency and accountability in the working of every public authority, and whereas the attached publication of the Bureau of Indian Standards is of particular interest to the public, particularly disadvantaged communities and those engaged in the pursuit of education and knowledge, the attached public safety standard is made available to promote the timely dissemination of this information in an accurate manner to the public.

-0.2 Many administrative authorities controlling water supply have their own set-s of bye ... Jaws, rules and regulations for water suppJy to suit local conditions. These should be strictly conformed to before operations are commenced for laying pipe lines or plumbing systems which are to be con­nected to public water supply. This code is intended to give the necessary guidance on good practices of plumhing.

4.4 SimuttaDeous Demaad 4.4.1 The probability of all taps being open Sil11ultan~ousty except in a

small group of fixtures is rt"mote. In ord~r to \\'ork out the probable demand, a study of ea.c~ ,york shall be rnade to ascertain t~c type of building, periods of water u5age, etc.

4.4.2 Where \\'ater is supplied 24 hours a day \\'ithout interruption, the probable dc:nland \\'ould be luinimutn. It would be maximunl, if the hours of supply arc least. :

4.4.3 Sirnultaneous de mand could be 1 co perctont of the gross demand in certain cases, for exarnple, sho\vers and toilets in stadiuffi t gynlnasiums, swimming pool, students' hostels, industrial and office wash rooms and similar oth~r establishlnents where the water usage could be concentrated during a short J>('riod.

4.4.4 Probable simultaneous demand Inay also be worked out by the relation:

m = vn where m -is the probable number of appliances 1n use and n is the total numh~r of appliances install~d.

4.4.5 Figure 1 gives a chart from which the proLable demand in litres per second may be worked out by adding the number of fixture units ins ... ta lI~d on each line.

4.4.6 Certain type of fixtures and connections, fur example, urinals or conn~ctions to cooling to\\'cr of air-conditioning systclns required a conti­nuous flow (~f \Vatf"-r thro,sghout their period of usc. Load of this type of use should be added after the probable demand in a line has been -calcH la ted. 4.5 Outlet Pressure - Pressure at each outlet shall be enough -to over­come the frictional losses through the fixture and provide the desire flow. ( sle IS : 2065-1983$ ),

5. SOURCE -OF SU-PPLY

5.1 Before plan oing the water supply systenl source (s) of water supply should be identi tied and established.

4.4.4 Probable simultaneous demand Inay also be worked out by the relation:

m = v'n where m -is the probable number of appliances 1n use and n is the total numh~r of appliances install~d.

6.3.2 Direct pumping systems are suitable for buildings where a certain amount of constant use of water is always occurring. These buildings are all centrally air-conditioned buildings for which a constant make up_supply for air-conditioning cooling towers is required.. .

6.3.3 The system depends on a constant and reliable supply of power. Any failure -in the power system would result in a breakdown in the water supply system.

6.3.4 The system eliminates the requirements of overh~ad tanks for domestic purposes (except for flushing) and requir~s minimum' space ( sel Fig. 2 ).

6.4 Hydro-pneumatic Systems

6.4.1 Hydro-pneumatic system is a variation of direct pumping system. An air ... tight pressure vessel is installed on the line to regulate the opera .. tion of the pumps. The vessel is arranged to consist of approximately half the capacity of waf cr. As pumps operate, the incoming water in the ves~el; compresses the air on topo When a predetermined pressure -is reached in the vessel, a pressure switch installed on the vessel switches off the pumps. As water is drawn into the system, pressure falls into the vessel starting the pump at preset pressure. The air in the pressure tank slowly reduces in volume due to dissolution in water and leakages from pipe lines. An air compressor is also necessary to feed air into the vessel so as to maintain the required air-water ratio.

6.4.2 There are various types of system available in the market and the designers has to select the system according to the needs of each applicat~on.

6.4.3 Hydro-pneumatic system generally eliminates the need for an over head tank and may supply water at a much higher pressure than availa­ble from overhead tanks particularly on the upper floors, resulting in even distribution of water at all floors ( see Fig. 3 ).

6.5 Overhead Tank Distribution

6.5.1 This is the most common of the distribution =systems adopted by various type of buildings.

6.5.2 The system comprises pumping water to one or more overhead tanks p]aced at the top most location of the hydraulic zone ..
