FORMATION OF CGWA
• In the wake of Bhopal tragedy 1984, the Government of India enacted the
Environment (Protection) Act, 1986 (EPA) under article 253 of the
constitution.
• Central Ground Water Authority (CGWA) was constituted in January 1997 under
sub-section (3) of Section 3 of the Environment Protection Act, 1986 as per
direction of Hon’ble Supreme Court of India.
• Central Ground Water Authority was constituted pursuant to Hon’ble Supreme
Court directions in M C Mehta vs Union of India & Others.
• CGWA has been vested with responsibility for regulation and control of
groundwater development and management.

4
POWERS AND FUNCTIONS
• To Regulate and Control, Management and Development of Ground
Water and to issue necessary regulatory directions
• Appointment of Officers under section 4 of the Environment
(Protection) Act
• To resort to penal provisions.

CGWA RULED STATES
1. NER, Guwahati – 7 NE States
2. MER, Patna – Bihar, Jharkhand
3. SER, Bhubaneswar – Odisha
4. NCR, Bhopal – Madhya Pradesh
5. NCCR, Raipur – Chhattisgarh
6. CR, Nagpur – Maharashtra
7. WCR, Ahmedabad – Gujarat, DNH & DD
8. WR, Jaipur – Rajasthan
9. ER, Kolkata – Sikkim, A&N Islands
10.UR, Dehradun - Uttarakhand

SGWA
• Wherever States/ UTs have come out with their own groundwater abstraction
guidelines, which are inconsistent with the CGWA guidelines, the provisions of
CGWA guidelines will prevail.
• However, in case the guidelines followed by such States/ UTs contain some more
stringent provisions than CGWA guidelines, such provisions may also be given effect
to by the States/ UTs Authorities in addition to those contained in the CGWA
guidelines.
• States may be at liberty to suggest additional conditions/ criteria based on the local
hydro-geological situations which shall be reviewed by CGWA/Ministry of Jal
Shakti, Government of India before acceptance.
