the following areas:
a)The access path to the building and to the parking area.
b)The landing lobby towards the information board, reception, lifts, staircases and toilets.

d)At the location abruptly changing in level or beginning/end of a ramp.
e)Immediately in front of an entrance/exit and the landing.
Proper signage:
Appropriate identification of specific facilities within a building for the handicapped
persons should be done with proper signals. Visually impaired persons make use of other
senses such as hearing and touch to compensate for the lack of vision, whereas visual
signals benefit those with hearing disabilities.

with ventilating covers. The water from the open well may be used for non-potable
118
domestic purposes such as washing, flushing and for watering the garden etc.
ii)Rain Water Harvesting for recharge of groundwater may be done through a bore-well
around which a pit of 1m width may be excavated upto a depth of at least 3m and
refilled with stone aggregate and sand. The filtered rain water may be channeled to the
refilled pit for recharging the bore-well.
iii)An impressive surface/underground storage tank of required capacity may be constructed
in the setback or other open spaces and the rain water may be channeled to the storage
tank. The storage tank shall always be provided with ventilating covers and shall have
draw-off taps suitably placed so that rain water may be drawn off for domestic,
washing, gardening and such other purposes. The storage tank shall be provided with
an overflow.
iv)The surplus rain water after storage may be recharged in to ground through percolation
pits or trenches or combination of pits and trenches. Depending on the
geomorphological and topographical conditions, the pits may be of the size of 1.20 m
width X 1.20 m length X 2 m to 2.50 m depth. The trenches can be of 0.60 m width X
