 Annexure II
Guidelines for construction of Piezometers and monitoring of Ground Water Levels and Quality
Piezometer is a borewell/tubewell used only for measuring the water level by lowering a tape/sounder or automatic /
digital water level measuring equipment. It is also used to take water sample for water quality testing whenever
needed. General guidelines for installation of piezometers are as follows :
• The piezometer is to be installed/constructed at the minimum distance of 50 m. from the pumping
well through which ground water is being withdrawn. The diameter of the piezometer should be about
“4 to 6”.
• The depth of the piezometer should be the same as that of the pumping well from which ground water
is being abstracted. If, more than one pumping wells are constructed tapping aquifers at different
depths, more than one piezometers shall be required to be constructed tapping different aquifers as in
the pumping wells.
• The measurement of water level in piezometer should be taken, only after the pumping from the
surrounding tubewells has been stopped for about four to six hours.
• The ground water quality has to be monitored once in a year during pre-monsoon (April/ May) period
by industries and mines drawing ground water. Samples of ground water should be analyzed from
NABL accredited laboratory.
• A permanent display board should be installed at Piezometer/ Tubewell site for providing the location,
piezometer/ tubewell number, depth and zone tapped of piezometer/tubewell for standard referencing
and identification.
• Any other site specific requirement regarding safety and access for measurement may be taken care off.
 Annexure III
Measures to be adopted to ensure prevention from pollution in the plant premises of polluting industries/
projects
It has been observed that ground water in and around polluting industries like Tannery, Slaughter Houses, Dye,
Chemical, Coal washery, other hazardous units, etc., is polluted. In order to prevent further deterioration of ground
water quality, it is essential to take all necessary measures for well head protection. All industries/ projects falling
under this category are hereby directed to follow the under mentioned procedure both for existing and new category.
1. No tube well/ bore well / dug well should be constructed in the vicinity of the processing unit. Tube well/ bore
well should be constructed at the place which is hygienically maintained.
2. Only Mild Steel pipe should be used for assembly/ casing and PVC (Poly Vinyl Chloride) or similar pipes
should not be used. The tube well/ bore well having PVC or similar pipes should be abandoned and filled
back.
3. Around the tube well/ bore well, RCC (Reinforced Concrete Cement) grouting of 3 meters (length) x 3 meters
(width) x 2 meters (depth) must be provided. The pipe of the tube well/ bore well must be raised 1 meter above
ground level (1 magl). The tube well/ bore well must be surrounded by RCC wall of 0.5 meter height and
1.5 meter depth to prevent any surface contamination to enter the constructed tube well/ bore well.
Plan/Sectional diagram is enclosed for reference.
3. The tube well/ bore well must be fitted with NRV (Non Return Valve) in order to ensure that the constructed
tube well/ bore well is exclusively used for abstraction of ground water only.
4. At no point of time there should be any injection of any water or fluid into the constructed tube well/
bore well/ Piezometer.
5. The industries/ projects under this category should not implement any recharge measures within the plant
premises.
6. Any tube well/ bore well located/ constructed in the vicinity of STP (Sewage Treatment Plant) or
ETP (Effluent Treatment Plant) should be abandoned and filled back.
7. The piezometer to be constructed for monitoring purpose should follow the same procedure as that for
tube well/ bore well for such industries/ projects.
