India is already inching towards China to replace it as the world’s most populous country. India’s water insufficiency by 2030 and the stress on new freshwater sources continue to be strongly emphasised in industry discussions. The accessibility of freshwater resources is now a major worldwide challenge. Although India has 18% of the world’s population, it only has 4% of its freshwater resources. Evidently, water is far too valuable to be used just once, with the growing needs of an expanding population.
This sets the premise for plumbing technologies of the future. While efficient water technologies are a vast theme, plumbing technologies are one of its core aspects. New plumbing trends are emerging in commercial and residential areas. Experts are developing new plumbing technologies to help solve water quality problems, reduce wastewater from plumbing fixtures, and promote sustainable consumption, keeping the future in mind.
Future trend drivers
The future of plumbing, therefore, focuses on technology, sustainability, and accessibility. And these are driving top trends to help us create more efficient and convenient plumbing systems.
Hi-tech, world-class PP piping systems
Companies with a deep heritage in India and a legacy in this industry are already taking a significant lead to usher in a new plumbing era. New sewerage and drainage technologies have been launched with silent and low-noise sewerage systems that deliver a very high level of noise insulation to the residence or commercial project.
Fluid flowing inside sewer piping can reach a relatively high-speed causing air column resonance in certain areas, which is transmitted to the building structure.
New-age sewerage and plumbing technologies offer projects several benefits of world-class products, sustainability being 100% recyclable, efficient water management, and ease of maintenance. These PP piping systems can also be adapted to a single stack drainage system instead of the conventional 3 stack drainage system, with a special fitting called an aerator. This considerably reduces the number of pipes used in a building.
Recycling systems
To ensure water recyclability, pipes are specially designed to divert wastewater generated from bathtubs, shower drains, washing machines and kitchen sinks etc.
