As well as the comforts and luxuries of modern living Plumbing systems protect the community from disease.
Invisible organisms that swim around in a watery environment was beyond imagination until a few centuries ago, it was only in the late 19th century that scientists discovered and isolated specific microbes of particular a disease, cholera, has proven one of history’s most virulent killers.
Mankind began to understand that the evil spirits causing its woes were microscopic creatures that could be defeated by plumbers and sanitary engineers. With well designed plumbing and draining systems.
As we go about our everyday lives it is comforting to know that people’s lives are protected by having Correctly Installed and maintained Plumbing Gasfitting and Draining Systems.
The arrangemnet provided in a house or building, for collecting and conveying waste
water through drain pipes, by gravity, to join either a public sewer or a domestic
septic tank, is termed as house drainage or building drainage.
WATER SUPPLY AND DRAINAGE SERVICE FOR BUILDINGKaran Patel
The product, delivered to the point of consumption, is called potable water if it meets the water quality standards required for human consumption.
The water in the supply network is maintained at positive pressure to ensure that water reaches all parts of the network, that a sufficient flow is available at every take-off point and to ensure that untreated water in the ground cannot enter the network. The water is typically pressurised by pumps that pump water into storage tanks constructed at the highest local point in the network. One network may have several such service reservoirs.
In small domestic systems, the water may be pressurised by a pressure vessel or even by an underground cistern (the latter however does need additional pressurizing). This eliminates the need of a water-tower or any other heightened water reserve to supply the water pressure.
These systems are usually owned and maintained by local governments, such as cities, or other public entities, but are occasionally operated by a commercial enterprise (see water privatization). Water supply networks are part of the master planning of communities, counties, and municipalities. Their planning and design requires the expertise of city planners and civil engineers, who must consider many factors, such as location, current demand, future growth, leakage, pressure, pipe size, pressure loss, fire fighting flows, etc

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

2. What is Plumbing?
The art and science of creating and maintaining sanitary conditions in buildings
Or
The art and science of installing, repairing and servicing of pipes, fixtures and
appurtenances necessary for bringing in water supply, distributing it within and
removing the liquid and water-borne wastes
It includes fixtures and fixture traps; soil and waste pipes; vent pipes; building
drain and building sewer; storm drainage pipes, their devices, appurtenances
and connections to all within or adjacent to the building
Plumbing has been a part of the human race since the dawn of human
civilization. Some civilizations saw very sophisticated systems for their time while
the services declined marginally during
Earliest plumbing arrangements were unearthed in the Indus Valley Civilization
almost 5500years old
Another civilization with highly developed plumbing system was the Egyptian
civilization and the Romans. Aqueducts were constructed to carry water from
sources to houses. Extensive underground sewage systems. Public baths.
Sanitary systems declined after the Romans and AD476 and only around the
1500’s to 1800’s were concerns raised for better sanitary systems!

12. 4.1.1 Water Supply for Residences
A minimum of 70 to 100 litres per head per day may be considered adequate for
domestic needs of urban communities, apart from non-domestic needs as flushing
requirements. As a general rule the following rates per capita per day may be considered
minimum
for domestic and non-domestic needs:
NOTE— The value of water supply given
as 150 to 200 litres per head per day
maybe reduced to 135litresper head
per day for houses for Lower Income
Groups (LIG) and Economically Weaker
Section of Society(EWS),depending upon
prevailing conditions.
4.3.1.1 For residential buildings, the requirements of
water shall be based on the actual number of occupants;
where this information is not available, the number of
occupants for each residential unit may be based on a
family of five. For assessing the population in other
occupants, reference may be made to Part 4 ‗Fire and
Life Safety‘.
4.1.1.1 Out of the 150 to 200 litres per head per day, 45 litres per head per day may be
taken for flushing requirements and the remaining quantity for other domestic purposes.
13. 4.1.2 Water Supply for Buildings Other than Residences

14. Water Sources and Quality: The NBC guidelines lay out the rules to ensure water quality
at the various stages of supply and consumption and disposal. Potable or for other
purposes. Fresh water sources: lakes/rivers. Waste water reclamation
4.4 Storage of Water
4.4.1 In a building, provision is required to be made for storage of water for the following
reasons:
a) to provide against interruptions of the supply caused by repairs to mains, etc;
b) to reduce the maximum rate of demand on the mains;
c) to tide over periods of intermittent supply; and
d) to maintain a storage for the fire fighting requirement of the building (see Part 4
‗Fire
and Life Safety‘ ).
There are clear guidelines as to what material is to be used for various uses and their
design considerations.
While designing we need to keep in mind the design of

17. 4.7 Distribution Systems in Multi-Storeyed Buildings
4.7.1 There are four basic methods of distribution of water to a multistoreyed buildings.
1. Direct supply from mains to ablutionary taps and kitchen with WCs and
urinals supplied by overhead tanks.
2. Direct Pumping Systems
3. Hydro-Pneumatic Systems
4. Overhead Tanks Distribution
4.7.2 Direct Supply System
This system is adopted when adequate pressure is available round the
clock at the topmost floor. With limited pressure available in most city
mains, water from direct supply is normally not available above two
or three floors.
4.7.3 Direct Pumping
Water is pumped directly into the distribution system without the aid of
any overhead tank, except for flushing purposes. The pumps are
controlled by a pressure switch installed on the line.
18.
19. 4.7.4 HydroPneumatic Systems
Hydro-pneumatic
system is a variation of
direct pumping system.
An air-tight pressure
vessel is installed on
the line to regulate the
operation of the pumps.
The vessel capacity
shall be based on the
cut-in and cut-out
pressure of the
pumping system
depending upon
allowable start/stops of
the pumping system.
The system shall have
reliable power supply to
avoid breakdown in the
water supply.
20. 4.7.5 over-head Tank
Distribution
4.7.5.1 This is the most
common of the distribution
systems adopted by various
type of buildings.
4.7.5.2 The system comprises
pumping water to one or more
overhead tanks placed at the
top most location of the
hydraulic zone.
4.7.5.3 Water collected in the
overhead tank is distributed to
the various parts of the building
by a set of pipes located
generally on the terrace.
28. 3.1.5 Plumbing Fixtures
It is recommended that each family dwelling unit should
have at least one water closet, one lavatory, one kitchen
wash place or a sink, and one bathing wash place or
shower to meet the basic requirements of sanitation and
personal hygiene.
3.1.8 Fixture Traps and Vent Pipes
Each fixture directly connected to the drainage system
shall be equipped with a liquid seal trap, Trap seals shall
be maintained to prevent sewer gas, other potentially
dangerous or noxious fumes, or vermin from entering the
building. Further, the drainage system shall be designed
to provide an adequate circulation of air in all pipes with
no danger of siphonage, aspiration, or forcing of trap
seals under conditions of ordinary use by providing vent
pipes throughout the system.
30. 3.1.6 Drainage System
The drainage system shall be
designed, installed and maintained to
guard against fouling, deposit of solids
and clogging and with adequate
cleanouts so arranged
that the pipes may be readily cleaned.
3.1.9 Foul Air Exhaust
Each vent terminal shall extend to the
outer air and be so installed as to
minimize the possibilities of clogging and
the return of foul air to the building, as it
conveys potentially noxious or explosive
gases to the outside atmosphere. All vent
pipes shall be provided with a cowl.
31. Drainage Installation
• Soil and Waste Drainage System
- Two-pipe Ventilated Gravity System
- U/G Petrol Interceptor for Carpark
- Discharge to Public Foul Water System
• Storm Water Drainage System
- Rain Water Outlet at Roof, Balcony & Canopy
- Discharge to Public Storm Water System
39. POSITIVES:
• Intelligent placing of Ducts and Wet areas to facilitate easy outflow and maintenance.
• Separation of Toilet and Kitchen sewage lines for separate drain out into respective
pipelines.
• Separate Water Supply pipes for Domestic and Flushing purposes.
• Rainwater pipes are place in appropriate corners, having maximum catchment
area, reducing number of pipes required.
• New-age flush and tap systems used.
• Pipework hidden from plain view in elevation with the help of extruded Chajjas and
Elevation Fins.
• No overlap of Bathrooms with bedrooms or kitchen between levels.
• Toilets ventilated into ducts, preventing escape of foul smell to Living areas.
NEGATIVES:
•
•
No provision for Hot water supply in Bathrooms and Kitchen.
Door clearance for WCs not standard.
40. CITY OF MILWAUKEE CROSS CONNECTION PROGRAM
Milwaukee is the largest city in the U.S. state of Wisconsin. It is located on the south-western
shore of Lake Michigan.
42. WHAT IS BACK FLOW?
In water supply systems, water is normally maintained at a significant pressure to enable
water to flow from the tap, shower etc.
When pressure fails or is reduced, (as may happen if a water main bursts, pipes freeze or
there is unexpectedly high demand on the water system), then such reduced pressure in the
pipe may allow contaminated water from the ground, from storage or from other sources to
be drawn up into the system.
43. WHAT IS CROSS CONNECTION?
Cross-connections, are defined as actual or potential connections between a potable
water supply and a non-potable source, where it is possible for a contaminant to enter
the drinking water supply.
44. STATISTICS:
• Approximately 15,800 commercial water accounts serve buildings in Milwaukee.
• The Plumbing Inspectors developed a reference manual identifying the various
types of cross connection configurations and the proper cross connection control
devices to correct them.
Typical Cross Connections:
Apartments
- Laundry Tub Faucets
- Hose Faucets
- Boilers
Office Buildings
- Boilers
- Chillers
- Soap Dispensers
- Water Closets
- Coffee Makers
45. Restaurants
- Beverage Dispensers
- Food Grinders
- Steamer
- Dishwasher
- Glass Washer
- Soap Dispenser
- Hose and Spray
Manufacturing Plants
- Chemical Dispensers
- Cooling Towers
- Boilers
- Hose Faucets
- Equipment using Potable Water
62. CORRECTIVE MEASURES APPLIED:
• Hose thread vacuum breakers were installed.
• A licensed plumber working under a permit is required for any other form of
cross connection correction.
