Legislation & Water Compliance in India

India, with its diverse climate and geographical conditions, faces significant challenges when it comes to water management and conservation.
To address these challenges, various legislative measures have been put in place, aiming to ensure water compliance and sustainable water resource management.

In this blog post, we will explore the legislation and water compliance landscape in India, highlighting the key regulations, their importance, and the role of Smaart Water in assisting businesses and industries to meet these requirements.

Key Legislation for Water Compliance
  1. Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974: This act provides a regulatory framework for the prevention and control of water pollution, making it mandatory for industries to obtain consent for water use and treatment.
  2. The National Water Policy, 2012: This policy emphasizes the need for integrated water resource management, promoting sustainable development, and equitable water distribution.
  3. The Environment (Protection) Act, 1986: This act empowers the Central Government to take necessary measures for protecting and improving the quality of the environment, including water resources.
  4. Central Ground Water Authority (CGWA) Guidelines: CGWA regulates groundwater extraction in various zones across the country and mandates obtaining NOCs for groundwater use.

Compliance with these legislations is crucial for several reasons:

  1. Environmental Preservation: Water pollution control measures and sustainable water use protect our ecosystems and biodiversity.
  2. Public Health: Clean water is essential for human health, and compliance ensures access to safe drinking water.
  3. Resource Conservation: Efficient water management helps conserve this precious resource for future generations.
  4. Legal Obligations: Non-compliance can result in hefty fines, legal actions, and reputational damage for businesses.
