REPORT ON 28TH INDIAN PLUMBING CONFERENCE
INTRODUCTION
 Indian Real estate has been witnessing very fast growth in the recent years, as the demand
for built environment is on the rise.
 The real estate sector in India is expected to reach a market size of US $ 1 trillion by
2023 from US $ 120 million in 2017.
 These new building structures will need meticulous planning and execution of all aspects
of these built structures including Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing.
 Plumbing is a science and Plumbing not only constitutes 13%- 15% of a building’s
structure cost, but is also a very crucial service as there are only two live lines in a
building: Plumbing and Electrical.
 Plumbing not only is responsible for supplying you water but it also takes away your
waste in a hygienic manner.
SESSIONS
1. Moving towards Implementation of Bharat Tap through Low Flow Fixtures &
Sanitaryware.
2. Reclamation of Water & Water Sources
3. Water Audit, BMS and IoT in Plumbing Applications
4. 24 x 7 Water Supply
5. Case Studies on Achieving Net Zero Water & Waste
6. Conveniences in Public Spaces.
SESSION 1- MOVING TOWARDS IMPLEMENTATION OF BHARAT TAP

THROUGH LOW FLOW FIXTURES & SANITARYWARE
What is BHARAT TAP Initiative?

 It is a concept to use low flow tap and fixtures.
 It will provide low-flow, sanitary-ware at scale, and thereby reduce water consumption at
the source considerably.
 It is estimated to save approximately 40% of water. This will in turn result in water
saving and energy saving due to less water and energy will be required for pumping,
transporting, and purification.
 This initiative will also be accepted quickly in the country and will lead to a renewed
focus on water conservation efforts.
SESSION 2 - RECLAMATION OF WATER & WATER SOURCES
 Water reclamation is generally the treatment of water obtained from several sources
(especially wastewater) to generate new water suitable for other purposes such as
groundwater replenishment, agriculture and land irrigation, potable water supplies, soil
compaction, recirculation cooling towers, aquifer recharge, industrial facilities, and
environmental restoration
 Recycled water can be applied for diverse perspectives to share the burden of freshwater
sources.
 In many areas of the world, the entire potential of using reclaimed water is not yet
explored.
 Moreover, different national and international bodies defined different guidelines for
reclaimed water specific to the particular use.
SESSION 3 - WATER AUDIT, BMS AND IOT IN PLUMBING APPLICATIONS
 Monitoring Water flow, water level and water quality.

 Water consumption monitored using flow meters at different level for domestic, flushing,
landscaping and cooling tower makeup.
 Entire system integrated on to an IOT platform to monitor derivations from normal, raise
service tickets ad alarm as applicable.
REAL-TIME MONITORING OF TREATED WATER QUALITY
Parameters
 pH
 TSS
 COD
 BOD
 Flow
Benefits
 24x7 monitoring ensures STP treatment effectiveness
 Better control of treatment process
 Monitoring alarms and ensuring service effectiveness.
 Ensuring compliance.
Save Billions of liters of water:
 Use of Low flow fixtures and fittings.
 Water demand calculators.
Advantages of Low flow fixtures

 Save money – saving water results in saving water costs.
 Reduced load on drain water volume-reduced water-water treatment burden.
 Carbon footprint reduction due to reduced pumping energy costs.
SESSION 4 - 24 X 7 WATER SUPPLY
Water Balance in Indian context-
 AMRUT 2.0, an India Government initiative, aims to provide 100% coverage of water
supply to all households in around 4,700 urban local bodies including approximately 2.68
crore tap connections.
 Additionally, the plan covers 100% coverage of sewerage and septage in 500 AMRUT
cities to around 2.64 crore sewer or septage connections. More than 10.5 crore people in
urban areas will benefit. One main objective of the AMRUT 2.0, is to provide a 24x7
water supply with a drink-from the-tap facility in 500 AMRUT Cities.
The purpose of Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT) is to
 Ensure that every household has access to a tap with the assured supply of water and a
sewerage connection.
 Increase the amenity value of cities by developing greenery and well maintained open
spaces (e.g. parks) and
 Reduce pollution by switching to public transport or constructing facilities for non-
motorized transport (e.g. walking and cycling). All these outcomes are valued by citizens,
particularly women, and indicators and standards have been prescribed by the Ministry of
Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA ) in the form of Service Level Benchmarks (SLBs).
Mission Components
 Water supply systems including augmentation of existing water supply, water treatment
plants and universal metering.
 Rehabilitation of old water supply systems, including treatment plants.
 Rejuvenation of water bodies specifically for drinking water supply and recharging of
ground water.
 Special water supply arrangement for difficult areas, hill and coastal cities, including
those having water quality problems (e.g. arsenic, fluoride)
SESSION 5 - CASE STUDIES ON ACHIEVING NET ZERO WATER & WASTE
A net zero energy federal building (constructed, renovated, or existing) is operated to:
 Maximize energy efficiency
 Implement energy recovery opportunities where feasible
 Balance the actual annual source energy consumption with on-site renewable energy
generation.
A net zero water federal building (constructed, renovated, or existing) is operated to:
 Minimize total water consumption
 Maximize alternative water sources
 Minimize wastewater discharge from the building
 Return water to the original water source such that the annual water consumption is
equivalent to the alternative water use plus water returned to the original source over the
course of a year.
A net zero waste federal building is operated to:
 Reduce, reuse, recycle, compost, or recover solid waste streams (with the exception of
hazardous and medical waste) thereby resulting in no waste disposal to landfills or
incinerators.
