Structure of a Hydro-Geological Report for Obtaining a No Objection Certificate (NOC) for Industries:

Project Overview:

Groundwater Status:

Describe the groundwater conditions in and around the project site, covering water levels, quality data, maps, and any existing quality issues. For mining projects, include groundwater conditions in both the core and buffer zones.

Tubewell/Borewell Details:

Specify the planned tubewells/borewells, including drilling depth, diameter, preliminary lithological logs, pump specifications (type, horsepower), and expected discharge rates. Mark these locations on the site plan/map, along with proposed piezometer sites

Geophysical Studies:

Detail any geophysical investigations conducted in and around the project area and calculate the groundwater resources for the block in which the project is located.

Mining Plan and Dewatering:

Provide an approved mine plan for mining projects and a detailed dewatering plan for mining or infrastructure dewatering projects.

Usage of Pumped Water:

Outline the proposed usage of pumped water in mining/infrastructure dewatering projects.

Impact Assessment:

Conduct a comprehensive assessment of the groundwater regime's impact in and around the project area, highlighting potential risks and proposing management strategies to address significant environmental concerns.

Wastewater Disposal:

Suggest measures for the disposal of wastewater by industries extracting saline water.

Water Conservation Measures:

Propose strategies for water conservation, including recycling, reuse, and treatment. Include the firm's water balance chart and details of proposed water conservation methods.

Provide a brief description of the capacity and flow chart of existing/proposed Sewage Treatment Plants (STPs) / Effluent Treatment Plants (ETPs) / Combined Effluent Treatment Plants (CETPs) within the project.

Detail water conservation measures aimed at reducing groundwater usage.

Present a total water balance chart showing water usage for various processes.

Additional Project Details:

Include any other relevant details pertaining to the project.
