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.
| 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 |
Specialized Knowledge: Our team consists of hydrologists, environmental engineers, and geologists with years of experience in groundwater modeling, environmental impact assessments, and regulatory compliance.
Stakeholder Communication: We facilitate communication with all stakeholders, including regulators, local communities, and environmental agencies, ensuring that your project complies with all relevant legal and environmental standards.
Clear and Concise Reports: We deliver detailed yet understandable reports, providing a clear analysis of potential groundwater impacts, supporting data, and feasible mitigation strategies. Our clients can rely on us for both technical depth and straightforward presentation.
Proactive Mitigation Strategies: We don’t just identify potential risks; we propose practical and effective mitigation measures that minimize the impact of your project on groundwater resources. This proactive approach helps reduce the risk of project delays and legal liabilities.
Long-Term Sustainability: Our assessments are designed with a focus on long-term sustainability, ensuring that your project can continue to operate without jeopardizing groundwater resources or quality. We help you adopt best practices for water management and conservation.
Client Testimonials and Case Studies: Our satisfied clients testify to the value we bring. From complex multi-phase projects to smaller-scale developments, we have a proven track record of success in delivering high-quality groundwater impact assessments that are accepted by regulators and stakeholders alike.
Reva Consultancy offers a comprehensive approach to IAR development, encompassing all crucial stages:
Data Collection and Analysis: Our team gathers and analyzes relevant environmental and social data through field studies, literature reviews, and stakeholder consultations.
Impact Prediction: We use advanced tools and methodologies to predict the potential impacts of your project on various environmental and social aspects.
Mitigation Planning: We develop effective strategies to minimize negative impacts and enhance positive ones, ensuring your project’s sustainability.
Public Consultation Management: We facilitate public consultations, ensuring stakeholder engagement and addressing community concerns, which are then documented in the IAR.
Report Writing and Editing: Our team crafts a clear, concise, and well-structured IAR that adheres to all regulatory guidelines and best practices.
Project Approval Support: We guide you through the project approval process by providing expert support in presenting your IAR to relevant authorities.
Groundwater Impact Assessment, Done Right — as per current CGWA SOP, by qualified groundwater professionals.
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.
Simplifying groundwater compliance for businesses across India. Reva Consultancy provides CGWA NOC facilitation, water audits, hydrogeological surveys, and rainwater recharge planning for sustainable operations.
