✅ 1. DefinitionA Public Drinking Water Booth is a fixed or mobile infrastructure setup that provides safe, clean, and potable drinking water to the general public, often free or at a very nominal cost.✅ 2. Common LocationsRailway stations (as per Indian Railways & RDSO norms)Bus standsMarketplacesGovernment officesParks and public gardensSchools, colleges, and religious places✅ 4. Construction & Technical SpecificationsThese vary by location and purpose. Below is a standard reference (Railway/Urban Setup):�� StructureMaterial: Stainless Steel (SS 304), Mild Steel (powder coated), or FRP bodyDimensions: Booth size approx. 6 ft x 6 ft to 8 ft x 10 ftRoof: GI/Aluminum/FRPFlooring: Anti-skid tiles or concreteDoors/Ventilation: Properly ventilated with mesh or louvers�� Water TankCapacity: 500L to 2000L (plastic/SS)Placement: On top or inside the boothInsulated tank in hot region�� Filtration SystemSediment filter + Activated Carbon + RO + UVInline filters + UV lamp for kiosk-type�� Cooling System (Optional)Water chillers (capacities: 100 LPH to 500 LPH)Power: 1.5 kW to 5 kW based on size�� Power SupplySingle phase or three phase, 230–415VSolar-powered optional for rural/remote use✅ 5. Key FeaturesTaps/Faucets: SS or brass (number depends on crowd)Drainage: Sloped flooring with outletDisplay board: Instructions, water quality info, QR code if digitalDustbins: For hygiene✅ 6. Government Norms & Guidelines�� Railways (RDSO Guidelines):SS booths preferredRegular water quality checksMinimum 1 booth per 2 platformsBooth to be accessible to elderly and disabled�� Municipal/Urban Guidelines:Water should comply with BIS 10500 normsAt least one drinking water facility per 500 people in public places✅ 7.

✅ Component-wise Thickness
1️⃣ Dome (Top Cap)
Material: SS-304 (Spun / Fabricated)
Thickness: 1.0 – 1.2 mm


---
2️⃣ Vertical Center Pipe (Main Column)
Material: SS-304 Round Pipe
Outer Diameter: 50–75 mm (varies by model)
Wall Thickness: 2.0 – 2.5 mm
Reason: Needs high strength to support entire booth + weight of panels + user contact.


---
3️⃣ Side Panels (Left & Right Wings)
Material: SS-304 Sheet
Thickness: 1.2 – 1.5 mm
Reason: Flat sheets need strength to avoid bending but not too heavy.


---
4️⃣ Front Face Panel (Where Tap Is Mounted)
Material: SS-304 Sheet
Thickness: 1.5 mm (recommended)
Reason: Must support tap fitting and water pressure.


---
5️⃣ Curved Basin / Circular Tray
Material: SS-304 Rolled Sheet
Thickness: 1.5 – 2.0 mm
Reason: Curved shape stores water temporarily → needs higher rigidity.
Also avoids denting when people place bottles or press.


---
6️⃣ Tap/Nozzle
Material: SS-304 or Brass Chrome-plated
Thickness: Not sheet metal — solid machined fitting.


---
7️⃣ Bottom Vertical Stand (Pipe to Base)
Material: SS-304 Pipe
Wall Thickness: 2.0 – 3.0 mm
Reason: Supports entire 116 kg structure.


---
8️⃣ Base Plate
Material: Mild Steel or SS-304
Thickness: 4 mm – 6 mm
Reason: Needs high weight and rigidity for stability.
