Notes & assumptions
- Standard sizes by capacity (per IS 11682 + JJM practice): 5 kL → 2.5×1.5×1.5 m liquid; 10 kL → 3×2×1.8 m; 25 kL → 4×3×2.1 m; 50 kL → 5×4×2.5 m; 100 kL → 6.5×5×3 m. Override the form to match site constraints.
- Wall thickness 250 mm is standard for 25 kL; bump to 300 mm for tanks > 50 kL or where the surrounding soil is saturated.
- Steel reinforcement uses 130 kg/m³ of total RCC (water-retaining IS 3370 ratio). For tanks deeper than 3 m liquid depth, increase to 150 kg/m³.
- Top slab 150 mm is adequate for pedestrian-only access. If the slab is under driveway / vehicular access, increase to 200 mm + 130 kg/m³ steel.
- Internal waterproofing (DSR 22.5) is the IS 3370 mandate — crack-controlled crystalline coat on all wet surfaces. Skip toggle if you have a separate full-membrane waterproofing system.
- Manhole cover 450 mm dia for tanks ≤ 50 kL; switch to 600 mm for ≥ 50 kL for desludging access.
- Excludes: ladder / cat-ladder inside tank for access (₹4-8k MS angle iron with grab rungs); level indicator + electrode-based low-water sensor (electrical, ₹6-12k); chlorination dosing chamber (separate small box, ~₹15-25k); inlet pipe with sluice valve (~₹3-5k); overflow pipe to surface drain (~₹2-3k); backfill compaction around walls + plinth protection above slab; coping / boundary around the manhole at ground level.
**UGSR (Underground Service Reservoir)** is the universal below-ground water-storage tank in Indian construction — every multi-storey building, factory, school, hospital, JJM village water-supply scheme uses one. The IS 3370 + IS 11682 standard configuration: rectangular RCC chamber built below ground level with PCC bed, RCC raft + walls + top slab, internal cementatious waterproofing, manhole cover + vent + outlet pipe. Sized 5-100 kL depending on building user-count + storage hours. This BOQ Builder generates the complete cost per CPWD DSR 2023.
UGSR vs OHSR — which to use when
**UGSR (Underground)** — built below ground level, takes no horizontal space, no staging structure needed but requires deeper excavation + heavier walls (earth pressure). Standard for: ground-water-table replenishment, building campus water storage (raw water from municipal supply or borewell), industrial reserve. Cost ~30-40% LESS than equivalent OHSR. **OHSR (Overhead)** — built on a staging structure 9-18 m above ground, provides gravity head pressure for distribution. Standard for: rural water-supply schemes (JJM gravity-fed networks), urban areas without pumping. Cost ~30-40% MORE than UGSR but no pumping required. **Combined**: Many systems use BOTH — UGSR for storage (filled by pump from raw source) + OHSR for distribution head.
JJM-standard UGSR sizing
JJM (Jal Jeevan Mission) specifies the UGSR as the raw-water + treated-water storage in 'village-scheme-from-borewell' configurations. Standard sizing: capacity = (daily demand) × (8-12 hour storage). For a village of 200-500 people @ 135 lpcd: storage need 25-50 kL. For urban housing (low-rise, ~100 flats × 5 person × 135 lpcd × 1/3 day = 22 kL): use 25 kL. For a school/hostel of 200 students × 100 lpcd × 1/3 day = 6 kL: use 10 kL. Industrial use depends entirely on process water needs.
Frequently asked questions
Using CPWD DSR 2023 rates for default 25 kL (4×3×2.1 m liquid, 250 mm walls, 300 mm raft, 150 mm top slab, waterproofing): approximately **₹8-10 lakh**. State PWD rates run 8-15% below DSR. Roughly 30-35% cheaper than an equivalent OHSR (which has staging + dome). Add ~15% for site mobilisation + dewatering during excavation in tender quotes.
