The Australian Standards also state that any new buildings or extension work done to your plumbing requires the installation of a pressure limiting value. Failure to do this means that your building does not comply. The standards go on to say that ‘pressures above 500kPa can cause damage from water hammer, reduced life of appliances, taps and fittings, and cause excessive noise in the system.’

We hear you. Who doesn’t like a shower massage. You do not need to worry. A pressure limiting valve set at the correct kPa will still enable you to have great shower pressure.

While the Plumbing Code of Australia and the Australian Standards require pressure limiting valves, so do many manufactures of appliances and fixtures. Many manufactures of taps, showers, hot water systems and washing machines, just to name a few, set a maximum inlet water pressure. Water pressure which exceeds their maximum voids their warranty.

Depending on the objectives of the activities specified in the call for proposal launched from time to time, the projects could be proposed by

If appliance warranty was not enough, without a pressure limiting valve you may not be covered by your insurance company. If an appliance or fixture fails as a result of high water pressure you may not be covered by insurance.

Call for Proposals under Water Technology Initiative (WTI-2016) for Demand Driven Convergent Water Solutions in Mission mode.

Department has developed necessary knowledge network for evolving customized technological solutions for water challenges suited to specific social context. Recognising the immense value of the expertise developed , continued need for scientific and technological inputs and insight gained during the course of implementation of R&D activities for addressing water challenges during the course of implementation of Technology Mission : Winning, Augmentation and Renovation of Water, the department proposes to continue the initiative with vigour to develop synergies with national and global R&D institutions, state governments, central ministries and other stakeholders. The activities of WAR for Water are now integrated with Water Technology Initiative. The implementation approach is a mix of the Mission implemented by DST and initiative mounted by DST.

Water Technology Initiative, initiated in August 2007 aims to promote R&D activities aimed at providing safe drinking water at affordable cost and in adequate quantity using appropriate Science and Technology interventions evolved through indigenous efforts. Since quality is the main consideration of safe drinking water, processes which imply nano-material and filtration technologies have been focused. The initiative also includes the pilot testing of credible number of products and referencing of selected technologies to the social context of the application region. In pursuance of directives of Hon’ble Supreme Court, Technology Mission on Winning, Augmentation and Renovation (WAR) for Water has been launched in August 2009 to undertake research-led solutions, through a coordinated approach, to come out with technological options for various water challenges in different parts of the country

Firstly, The Plumbing Code of Australia and the Australian Standards (AS/NZS 3500)  require that water pressure on your property must not exceed 500kPa. Water mains pressure may be considerably greater than this.

This pro-active India – centric ‘solution science’ endeavour aims to strengthen the R&D capacity and capability to develop the technological solutions for existing and emerging water challenges facing the country.

The thrust areas for initiative dynamically evolve based on need for technology based solution from the users, requirement of R&D inputs by stakeholders, assessment of S&T requirements to enable achieve technology prowess in water sector etc. The thrust areas specific to call for proposals are articulated in call document uploaded on DST website periodically.

This demand oriented user centric initiative includes development research in laboratories as well as application research in field. The scope of initiative covers the entire value chain of R&D right from water oriented basic and applied research, pre competitive technology development , technology based classification & assessment of technology options, pilot-demonstration of technology leads from laboratories and academic institutions assessment of available technology options to evolve a basket of technology options and mounting of technically, socially, environmentally and eventually affordable convergent solutions based on evolving,novel as well as known technologies suited to socio-economic context .

Call for Proposals under Water Technology Initiative (WTI-2017) for WATER Technology Research and Innovation Centres (WATER-IC)

We understand that all of the plumbing jargon can be a little bit overwhelming. That is why we have decided to talk about a few of the most common plumbing terms and requirements in order to help you understand and feel comfortable with what may be happening or may need to be happening at your house. Today we are talking about a pressure limiting valve.

A pressure limiting valve (PLV) is a valve that reduces the pressure of the water which flows through it. Water mains pressure can reach extreme pressures and without a pressure limiting valve the pipes in your house could reach this pressure too.

Proposals under WTI will be entertained only against specific call.The priorities and commitments of the Water Technology Initiative for every year are articulated in the “ Call for Proposals, which would appear on DST website in the month of April. The criteria for evaluation and evaluation procedure will be part of call document Interested applicants may apply against the call. However, next phase of projects supported earlier which are essential for logical conclusion of the project can be considered beyond the call domain.

It also envisages to nurture enabling activities such as human and institutional capacity building such as fellowships for researchers, training of water managers to enable identify and select most appropriate technology option, promoting centers of excellence for water research and nurturing nascent water technologies for last mile connectivity etc.
