Services are the life and soul of the same and contribute towards major cost of building construction. Plumbing and sanitation is very crucial and useful part of civilian domestic fife in present times.AJthough the principles and hygiene are the same every where the methods employed and standards adopted vary according to the climatic environment, economic conditions, sociological circumstances and age long habits engrained in the people. In the course of my work as a teacher of the subject of services to the degree students of Architecture, I experienced considerable drfrculty in pointing out to them a book which could give them all the information they need. I have therefore attempted to present in this volume all the matter which students are likely to study under the various university courses. Here the subject matter has been explained in simple & lucid language with plenty of sketches to follow the contents. I hope this book will be certainly liked by the students. I acknowledge my sincere gratitude to all those who have been helpful directly or indirectly in the task of making this book.
