Overview
Surface Water and Groundwater Hydrogeology studies the occurrence, movement, recharge, discharge and quality of water within surface-water systems and underground aquifers. It supports water-resource assessment, groundwater development, environmental monitoring and sustainable water management.
Key Capabilities
- Surface-water resource assessment
- Groundwater level and aquifer assessment
- Hydrogeological mapping and groundwater-flow evaluation
- Aquifer characterization and water-bearing-zone identification
- Groundwater recharge and discharge assessment
- Borewell and well-site assessment
- Groundwater quality and contamination assessment
- Seasonal water-level monitoring and trend analysis
- Surface-water/groundwater interaction studies
- Geophysical surveys, where required
- Groundwater potential and sustainable abstraction assessment
Applicable Regulatory Framework
- Environment (Protection) Act & Rules, 1986 – Environmental compliance.
- CGWB Guidelines – Groundwater assessment and hydrogeological studies.
- CGWA Guidelines – Groundwater abstraction and NOC requirements.
- CPCB Water Quality Criteria – Surface-water quality assessment.
- State/UT Groundwater Regulations – Applicable local requirements.
- Environmental Clearance (EC) Conditions – Project-specific requirements, where applicable.
- ISO/IEC 17025:2017 – Applicable to laboratory testing and reporting.
