New Standard from Last Update.

NATIONAL FOREWORD

This Indian Standard which is identical with ISO 24536 : 2019 ‘Service activities related to drinking water supply, wastewater, and stormwater systems - Stormwater management - Guidelines for stormwater management in urban areas’ issued by International Organization for Standardization (ISO) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on recommendation of the Environmental Services Sectional Committee, and approval of the Service Sector Division Council.

The impacts of urban flooding can include loss of human life, damage to property, disruption of traffic and other services and deteriorations of limited freshwater resources, water ecosystems and hygienic living conditions. The effective stormwater management systems can enhance the resilience of communities by reducing the likelihood and severity of pluvial, fluvial and coastal flooding.
