About us

Former regulators, now on your side of the table

Hydro Geo Solutions LLP is a consortium of scientists and engineers, led by four former Chairmen of the Central Ground Water Board and former CGWB and CGWA scientists.

We provide scientific services across groundwater investigation, regulation and management: surveys with modern instruments, GIS and remote sensing, geophysics and numerical groundwater modelling. Our team has worked on groundwater problems in agriculture, industry and mining across most of India's hydrogeological settings, from hard-rock terrain to alluvium and coastal aquifers.

We help clients turn water constraints into workable plans: secure the approvals they need, use groundwater within what the aquifer can sustain, and put water back through recharge.
