Beverage, brewery and distillery plants are often the largest groundwater users in their block. That brings a full report, a model, a water audit and a reduction target.
What CGWA will look at in your plant
💧Big volumes, so a modelMost plants draw well above 1 lakh litres a day, so an Impact Assessment Report with a 5 km groundwater model is almost always needed.
📉Your block's categoryIn over-exploited blocks, new units are restricted and expansion that increases pumping is not allowed. Check before you plan capacity.
🔄Water audit and a 20% cutAbove 1 lakh litres a day: a water audit every two years, and groundwater use cut by 20% over three years.
🧾Charges and a rebateAbstraction charges rise with volume and block category. Build working recharge structures and get a 50% rebate.
