Site Imperviousness
Factor
INTRODUCTION
Intent
High imperviousness on site leads to rapid runoff of rainwater, reduces urban
rainwater recharge and contributes to conditions of urban flooding. The intent of this
criterion is to ensure implementation of site design measures which assist in
reduction of overall site imperviousness factor.
Appraisals:
Net Imperviousness factor of site meets the NBC 2005
norms. (1 point)

Water
quality
INTRODUCTION
CATEGORY
The parameters for water quality are determined by the intended use. Work
in the area of water quality tends to be focused on water that is treated for
human consumption, industrial use, or in the environment.
In Griha two aspects of water quality are considered one is to ensure the
desired quality of potable water whatever may be the source of supply and
the other aspect of water quality is for treated water.
SOLUTION
Water is usually tasteless, odor less, colorless, and a liquid in its pure state. But,
water is one of the best naturally occurring solvents present on the earth and
almost any substance will dissolve in it to some degree. This is why it is seldom
found in its 'pure state and usually contains several impurities (gases, solids, color)
Drinking water for human beings should contain some level of minerals (TDS), but
these levels should not be excessive. The standard that is applicable in India is the
BIS 10 500-1991 standard. This standard uses the WHO standard as the basis and
has been amended subsequently to take into account the fact that over
exploitation of groundwater, which has the largest share of water supplied for
human use.
The Bureau of India Standards (BIS) standard applies to the purity level acceptable
for human consumption. For practically all industrial and some commercial uses,
the purity level required is very high, and in most cases, demand water with
virtually no residual dissolved solids at all.

Boron content
Boron, though a nutrient, becomes toxic if present in water beyond a
particular level In relation to boron toxicity the irrigation water quality
rating is given in Table
COMPLIANCES
1: Submit potable water quality, treated waste water and captured rainwater
quality details from various sources before and after treatment (if required) - from
an NABL accredited laboratory on the quality of potable water
3: Submit the specification details indicating the capacity and components of the
water treatment plant along with drawings (product details from the manufacturer)
4: Submit document indicating the quantum of treated water generated along with
the use/disposal steps
