Water Requirement for Factories (IS 1172: 1993)

The question asks about the per capita water requirement for factories according to the Indian Standard IS 1172: 1993. This standard provides guidelines for basic requirements for water supply, drainage, and sanitation in various types of buildings, including industrial buildings like factories.

The standard specifies different per capita water requirements depending on the type of building and the facilities available within it. For factories, the requirement depends on whether bathing facilities (bathrooms) are provided or not.

IS 1172: 1993 Water Requirements

According to IS 1172: 1993, the minimum per capita water requirements for factories are categorized as follows:

  • For factories where bathing facilities are provided: 45 litres per head per day
  • For factories where bathing facilities are not provided: 30 litres per head per day

The question specifically mentions factories where bathrooms are required to be provided. This falls under the category where bathing facilities are included.

Therefore, based on IS 1172: 1993, the per capita water requirement for factories with bathrooms is 45 litre per head per day.

Understanding these specific values from the standard is important for planning water supply and sanitation systems in industrial areas.
