Compressed biogas, ethanol and solar plants need assured water for their whole life: for process, cooling or panel cleaning. We show whether the source is sustainable, and get the NOC.
What CGWA will look at in your plant
📈Source sustainabilityHow much water the aquifer can give for 20–25 years, with climate change scenarios. Lenders and investors ask for this.
📝The NOCNew industries in over-exploited blocks are restricted. Know your block before you buy land.
🌧️Recharge to balance your useRainwater harvesting and recharge on large plant and solar sites can offset what you draw, and earn a 50% rebate on charges.
🧼Panel cleaning waterFor solar parks, plan cleaning water and reuse so the draw stays small.
