FOREWORD
This Indian Standard (Fourth Revision) was adopted by the Bureau of
Indian Standards, after the draft finalized by the Water Supply and
Sanitation in Building Sectional Committee had been approved by the
Civil Engineering Division Council.

This Indian Standard was first published in 1957 and subsequently

revised in 1963, 1971 and 1983. In this revision, requirements of water
supply for residences has been listed based on population of the
community. However, for Lower Income Group (LIG) and Economical
Weaker Section of Society (EWS), the value of minimum requirement of
water supply has been retained as 135 litres per head per day. Fire
demand in buildings has been catered to, by giving reference to a
suitable standard.

This code represents a standard of good practice and, therefore, takes

the form of recommendations.

Indian Standard
CODE OF BASIC REQUIREMENTS FOR WATER SUPPLY, DRAINAGE AND
SANITATION
(Fourth Revision)

1 SCOPE
1.1

This standard lays down basic requirements for water supply, drainage
and sanitation for residential, commercial, industrial and other types of
buildings in urban areas including railway platforms, bus stations and
terminals, seaports, airports and market yards.
1.2

This standard does not take into consideration the requirements of water
for industrial plants and processes which have to be provided for
separately depending upon individual requirements. It also does not take
into account overcrowding, both casual and permanent, and is based on
the assumption that the average size of a family is 5, and 9 m2 floor area
is occupied by not more than two persons. It does not provide for
municipal water supply requirements such as for street cleaning, etc.
