Ground water Impact Assessment

Reva Consultancy: Delivering High-Quality Impact Assessment Reports in India

At Reva Consultancy, we understand the critical role of Impact Assessment Reports (IARs) as per the amended guidelines notified on 29.03.2023. We specialize in preparing comprehensive and insightful IARs that meet all regulatory requirements while effectively communicating project impacts.

All projects extracting/proposing to extract ground water in excess of 100 m3 /day in Over-exploited, Critical and Semi-critical areas and in excess of 500 m3/day in areas underlain by non-alluvium and 2000 m3/day in areas underlain by alluvium in Safe assessment units shall have to mandatorily submit impact assessment report and ground water modeling study of existing/ proposed ground water withdrawal on the ground water regime covering 5 KM radius area around the project site.

What We Do

What is Impact Assessment?

Think of IA as a comprehensive evaluation of a project’s potential consequences. It assesses how a project might affect the environment, local communities, and the overall social fabric. This evaluation helps decision-makers understand the project’s full picture, ensuring responsible and sustainable development.
Assessment Unit Aquifer Type Quantum of GW (m³/day) Type of Report
Over-exploited, Critical & Semi-Critical Hard Rock >100 < 500 Impact Assessment Report with Analytical GW Modelling
Hard Rock >500 Impact Assessment Report with Numerical GW Modelling
Alluvium >100 < 1000 Impact Assessment Report with Analytical GW Modelling
Alluvium >1000 Impact Assessment Report with Numerical GW Modelling
Safe Hard Rock >500 Impact Assessment Report with Numerical GW Modelling
Alluvium >2000 Impact Assessment Report with Numerical GW Modelling

Groundwater Impact Assessment, Done Right — as per current CGWA SOP, by qualified groundwater professionals.

Ground water Impact Assessment Questions

Groundwater quality will be monitored at [X] locations using wells, with sampling conducted [frequency] to test for [parameters such as TDS, contaminants, pH, etc.].

Ongoing monitoring ensures that the project’s impact on groundwater is within acceptable limits and helps identify any need for corrective actions.

A project can lower the water table, cause contamination, or reduce natural recharge of groundwater if not managed properly.

The GIA evaluates groundwater quantity (extraction rates and impact on the water table), quality (contamination risks), and the overall environmental impact of the project on local groundwater systems.

All industrial projects extracting / proposing to extract ground water in excess of 100 m3 /day and up to 500 m3/day ground water in over-exploited, critical and semi-critical areas shall have to mandatorily submit Impact Assessment Report with Analytical Modelling Report. For GW Extraction above 500 KLD in OCS blocks shall have to mandatorily submit Impact Assessment Report with Mathematical Modelling Report Also in safe areas underlain by hard rock, industries drawing >500 m3 /day and in safe areas underlain by alluvium/ soft rock, industries drawing >2000 m3 /day are required to submit impact assessment report with Mathematical Modelling.

  • Enhancing Reputation: A well-conducted impact assessment shows the project team’s commitment to sustainability and corporate social responsibility. This can enhance the project’s reputation among regulators, investors, and the public.
  • Social Acceptance: By addressing social and environmental concerns, the assessment helps in gaining social acceptance for the project, reducing opposition from communities or environmental groups
