This document provides an estimation of materials for an underground water reservoir. It includes: - Plans and sections of the reservoir layout - Tables calculating quantities of materials needed for the brick flat soling, concrete works, and reinforcement, including cement, sand, bricks, and rebar amounts - Considerations for construction including mix designs, rebar spacing, and sizing The document aims to estimate all necessary materials for effective construction of the underground reservoir.
