Why Legal Authorization for Borewells Is Crucial and How to Get It
Drilling a borewell for groundwater extraction without permission could result in fines and damage to the surroundings. To guarantee sustainable groundwater use and regulatory compliance in India, formal clearance from agencies like the Central Ground Water Authority (CGWA) is absolutely necessary. A legal license is a necessary first step since borewell rules help avoid overextraction, groundwater depletion, and contamination.
The value of legal permission
Legal permission for borewells ensures the sustainable management of water supplies. Unauthorized overextraction of groundwater can cause land subsidence, decreased water levels, and pollution issues. Particularly in areas with limited water resources, government policies aim to control and supervise groundwater exploitation.
2. Procedures for authorizing borewells
Depending on the area and state, getting legal permission for a borewell calls for numerous stages. Here’s a general summary:
Send an application:
Get in touch with the pertinent authority, such as the CGWA, then apply, stating your borewell requirements.
Provide required paperwork.
You might have to send water usage information, a site plan, and property records.
Site Check:
A site inspection by officials could help evaluate the viability of the borewell and guarantee that no environmental damage results.
Request NOC:
Once accepted, you will get a No Objection Certificate (NOC), enabling you to start borewell drilling.
3. Groundwater management: NEER’s part
Companies and people follow groundwater rules in part because of organizations like NEER. NEER offers services to obtain NOCs from CGWA, thereby ensuring sustainable and legal borewell drilling.
To sum up,
Sustainable groundwater management depends on borewells having legal authorization. It guarantees compliance, defends long-term environmental health, and preserves water supplies.
