Definition

A system, if any exists, for carrying off waste water and liquid wastes of the area will be called a drainage system. Drainage could involve natural or artificial removal of surface and sub-surface water from a given area. However, if water flows down by its own weight under gravity, in an unregulated manner, then it will be a case of 'no drainage'. The type of drainage system existing in the slum area is to be entered
in code against this item. The relevant codes are:
underground……….. 1
covered pucca……… 2
open pucca………… 3
open katcha………… 4
no drainage system… 5
