Interviewer instructions

A system, if any exists, for carrying off wastewater and liquid wastes of the area will be called a drainage system. Drainage could involve natural or artificial removal of surface and sub-surface water from a given area. However, if water flows down by its own weight under gravity, in an unregulated manner, then it will be a case of 'no drainage'. The type of drainage system existing in the slum area is to be entered in code against this item.
