Groundwater Compliance (Post-Permission Obligations)

Once a Groundwater NOC / Groundwater Extraction Permission is granted by the Central Ground Water Authority (CGWA) or applicable State Groundwater Authorities such as HWRA, UPGWD, or PWRDA, industries and infrastructure projects are legally required to meet ongoing annual groundwater compliance obligations.

These post-permission requirements ensure that groundwater extraction remains within approved limits, recharge commitments are fulfilled, and sustainability conditions imposed by regulators continue to be followed throughout the operational lifecycle.

Annual groundwater compliance typically includes submission of :-

Groundwater abstraction and water usage reports
Flow meter readings and extraction data
Rainwater harvesting and recharge compliance records
Verification of adherence to approved withdrawal limits
Authority-specific annual returns to CGWA / HWRA / UPGWD / PWRDA
Supporting documents for Groundwater NOC renewal

Failure to comply with post-permission groundwater conditions may result in :-

Suspension or cancellation of Groundwater NOC
Monetary penalties or enforcement actions
Rejection or delay in renewal approvals
Restrictions on future groundwater extraction
Regulatory non-compliance impacting PCB or Environmental Clearance obligations
