The concept of watershed development is based on the idea that rainwater can be harvested, the direct run-off of water reduced and the groundwater recharged. Watershed management has been a comprehensive approach aimed at optimizing the use of water, land and vegetation in any area. It is highly effective in channelizing water availability that helps to alleviate drought, moderate floods, prevent soil erosion, increase fuel, fodder and agricultural production on a sustained basis while keeping the inherent productivity of the soil resource intact.

Digital water flow meter as per CGWA Compliance ELECTROMAGNETIC FLOW METER Digital Flow Meter With Telemetry As Per CGWA Guidelines Installation of Digital Water Flow Meter on Ground water abstraction structures Whereas the Central Government constituted the Central Ground Water Authority (hereinafter referred to as the Authority) vide notification Number S.O. 38(E), dated 14th January, 1997, followed by notification number S.O. 1124(E) dated 6th November, 2000 and S.O. 1121 (E) dated 13th May, 2010 of the Government of India in the Ministry of Environment & Forests, for the purposes of regulation and control of ground water development and management in the whole of India and to issue necessary regulatory directions. And whereas the Authority has issued ‘Guidelines to control and regulate ground water extraction in India’ vide notification number 3289(E) dated 24th September, 2020, wherein under Section 9 (i) “Installation of digital water flow meter (conforming to BIS/ IS standards) having telemetry system in the abstraction structure(s) shall be mandatory for all users seeking No Objection Certificate and intimation regarding their installation shall be communicated to the CGWA within 30 days of grant of No Objection Certificate through the web-portal.” THIS IS TO BRING TO THE NOTICE OF ALL GROUND WATER USERS THAT: All the project proponents/users drawing ground water and seeking/having NOC shall have to mandatorily install tamper-proof digital water flow meters with telemetry on all the ground water abstraction structures within their premises. All the Micro and Small Enterprises drawing less than 10 cum/day shall also be mandatorily required to install digital water flow meters on all the ground water abstraction structures within their premises. Such enterprises shall be subjected to randomised inspections. The afore-mentioned conditions need to be strictly followed by all the users and any ground water withdrawal without the installation of tamper-proof digital water flow meters and telemetry (wherever applicable) shall be construed as illegal. Non-compliance of these conditions shall invite a Penalty provision and/or Environmental Compensation against the proponent for illegal withdrawal of ground water as per the CGWA Guidelines and may result in cancellation/rejection of NOC and sealing of ground water abstraction structures.

Water Conservation, Ground Water Rejuvenation and Development via Rainwater Management and Harvesting Rainwater through Ponds and Borewell Recharging Structures to Support Increasing Demand of Water for Daily usage for Domestic, Industrial and Agricultural purposes. Water Conservation and Harvesting Structures in Naturally Water Scarce Regions creates Geo-Hydrological Opportunity and Economic Viability. Ponds recharging structure, farm pond, stop Dam, and small pond etc. It is seen that different Geographical Location and unique Geophysical and Hydrological Nature and every situation needs to be addressed, separately, the groundwater recharge capacity of the varies regions may vary depending upon area specific geophysical nature of earth strata. Recharge Wells provide an opportunity to extract sub-surface flow of the region without exploiting the Groundwater reserve.

CGWA Clearance Central Ground Water Board (CGWB) . Statement indicating position of pending cases received for NOC for ground water withdrawal. Statement showing list of project proposals to whom NOC for ground water withdrawal has been issued. The annual replenishable ground water resources availability plays an important role in defining the guidelines. The latest assessment of the state wise ground water resources as on 31.03.2009 is available at the Central Ground Water Board . As per the ground water resource estimates of 2009, out of the 5842 assessment units (Blocks, Mandals, Talukas, districts), 802 over-exploited units, 169 critical units, 523 semi-critical units, 4277 safe units and 71 saline units have been identified across the country by Central Ground Water Board. The Annual replenishable ground water resources have been estimated as 431 Billion Cubic Meters (bcm). The Net Ground Water Availability is 396 bcm and the overall stage of ground water development of the country is 61%. Therefore, prior permission/NOC from CGWA has to be obtained before construction of any Groundwater abstraction structure viz. Tube wells, Bore wells, Dug wells etc. Allegiance can offers its client the following services: Examining the area of the groundwater against availability Water requirement Availability of aquifer A Shallow aquifer B Deeper aquifer Status of the groundwater development of the area Preparation of proposal for augmentation of groundwater abstraction Preparation and implementation of water conservation measures Facilitation for obtaining NOC from CGWA, New Delhi
