One simple method of design is covered by the National Building Code of India. This book has taken the NBC as reference and built the basics of design around it to ensure that an optimised solution is worked out by the town planner. This method will ensure that the design is tailor made for every requirement.
Water is non destructible as it is called a cyclic resource, yet we find an acute shortage of water around us. One of the main reasons for this is due to discharge of untreated effluent into our rivers both by our domestic and industrial users. Careful handling and treatment of all effluent and proper disposal will definitely help us to preserve our water sources. The book has elaborated each aspect concerned with effluent and explained the design process in a very simple and concise manner.
Storm water is the purest form of water available in the environment, yet mostly this water is allowed to run off to rivers and finally to oceans. It is thus a great waste of this pure form of water. In addition, unchecked run off of storm water causes flooding in some areas. While, local flooding for short durations is unavoidable, a right design can improve the availability of water in all areas. The reader will find very practical and relevant design tips from construction angle as well as handling of storm water.This book covers all these aspects very clearly in a very concise manner which can be used by a designer as well as a student of this subject. An effort has been made to keep all subjects in the book very brief and easy to comprehend. It will act as a very handy tool for all designers.
