Formation of IS Codes in Water Sector and Bureau of Indian Standard

The Bureau of Indian Standard is doing a very good work of standardization of investigation, design, construction and maintenance of water Resources Sector; the Water Resources Department and Central Water Commission are helping its efforts.​

X4qUQ6k.pngI request the Bureau of Indian Standard to invite the Indian Institutes of Technology, National Institutes of Technology and other eminent educational and experts to join its Technical Committees at least in correspondence, if they do not wish to attend meetings of Technical Committees.

It will help in preparing new standards in a big way and also to basic and thorough revision of old IS codes, some of which are even fifty years old. 

Similarly, I also request IIT’s, NIT’s and other educational institutes and eminent experts to get involved in formation of new standards on new topics and revision of old IS standards, as with out their help, it will be very difficult to prepare new IS codes and to revise old IS codes timely and effectively.

I hope the concerned Ministers Mr Ram Vilas Paswan , Ms UMa Bharati, Central Water Commission (CWC) , Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) and concerned Secretaries to these Govt. Departments will like to start this initiative, so that formation of new codes and revision of old codes can get momentum.

I also suggest to CWC, BIS for increasing water use efficiency from about 40 percent to 80 percent, by including design, construction and maintenance of water courses (field channels) in new irrigation projects as well as for old already constructed / under construction projects.

Similarly the area of high water consuming crops in irrigation projects and also for farmers using ground water be restricted, as area of OPIUM has been restricted by the Govt.  of India. A National Policy approved by the Parliament may also be formed for solving inter- state water disputes amicably and impartially for solving water problems of the country.
