The procedure for acquiring a water boring license for commercial purposes in the state of Tripura can be understood by referring to the regulations enforced by the Central Ground Water Authority and the Tripura Water Resources Department. A map is a process to promote sustainable pumpage of ground water for the state by preventing uncontrolled discharge of aquifers which differs in hydrogeology within the state. The process starts with the appraisal of the groundwater prospects of the intended site with regard to probable effects on the environment. This is complemented by the necessity to prepare and submit highly detailed technical documentation such as technical report and feasibility study that revise best practices in the management of water resources, specifically groundwater. This involves writing an application for NOC to ensure that the company’s plans conform to the law regarding extraction and that the extraction plans have no adverse effects on water sources or other ecosystems. Also, the Tripura Water Resources Department may require further extension of sophisticated devices to monitor the ground water standards consistently in future. Acquiring a license for water resources is crucial for proper use of this ness, efficient and sustainable utilization as well as to avoid some penalties that may be issued by the authorities.
A water boring license is a permit from the government that allows a person to bore a well to reach sub-surface water. It controls and oversees the pumping of water from the wells and aims at sensitizing people not to pump water anyhow. The applicant will be required to give details on the following; The intended use of the borewell, inner depth of the borewell, the intended location of the borewell, volume of water expected from the borewell among others. Technical appraisals and the environmental site assessment are also needed. There can be conditions that add strings to compliance with environmental legislation and water say policies; depth of drilling, type of equipment, amount of extract. The license is important in water resource management and ensuring proper demand and supply, water quality, and groundwater conservation. It is very important to adhere to the stipulated licensing provisions on ways of using water and managing the environment.
A water boring license offers several benefits that promote sustainable water resource management and ensure the responsible use of groundwater. Here are some key benefits:
It allows for the control of water abstraction with the result that the exploitation of groundwater does not go unrestrained and this water resource is well utilized. This is very important in the stabilization of the water table and prevention of exhaustion thereof.
The license promotes protection of the environment due to the guidelines and conditions associated with it. Thus, borewells are run in a way that they do not have adverse effects on the environment of the region and that such problems like soil erosion and sinking of the land are avoided.
Licensing usually comes with periodic checks and sampling for water quality to ascertain the quality of the extracted water. This assists in the enhancement of quality drinking water, water for agriculture as well as water for industries.
Appointing a water boring license expects people and companies to be on the right side of the law in regards to the provisions of the Law such as the Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974. This eradicates legal complications and gives a positive encouragement for the appropriate usage of water.
The process of licensing is always accompanied by extensive paperwork and compliance and therefore contributes to efficient management of water resources. Through the water meters information can be gathered and analyzed in how water is used and the rate at which it is consumed and therefore help the authorities in planning for the usage in future.

They've been very helpful in our registration with ICEGATE. It was a small thing with a small amount paid which somehow escalated to a very painful procedure. Never did they say "You've only paid so much. It's too much effort for us.".
Very pleased with their service. Prompt, professional and great communication. Definitely recommend. Special mention for Ms. Razia - she handled our case.
Professional Utilities is fully professional in their work, Rates are too low and genuine. Services and satisfaction are high so I highly recommended Professional Utilities.
