People who depend on borewells for drinking water and do not have alternative sources of supply, need to obtain permission from the Central Ground Water Authority (CGWA), the National Green Tribunal has said.
In 2019, the Bengaluru Water Supply and Sewerage Board (BWSSB) and the Karnataka Groundwater Authority took two major decisions aimed at conserving groundwater in the city. One was to deny permission for new borewells in core areas with access to Cauvery water, and the other was to introduce metering to check over exploitation of ground water through borewells. Both these decisions remain on paper, even as reckless digging of borewells continues. With Bengaluru receiving copious rains in the last two years, the groundwater table has gone up and the authorities appear to have become even more lenient while granting permission, while also turning a blind eye towards illegal borewells.It is high time the government evolved a policy on borewells and set up a monitoring mechanism with punitive action to put an end to indiscriminate digging
