Gujarat Groundwater FAQ
What are dark zones in Gujarat?
Dark zones are over-exploited areas where groundwater extraction exceeds recharge. Parts of Saurashtra, North Gujarat, and Kutch are classified as dark zones with strict restrictions on new borewells.
Is Sujalam Sufalam linked to groundwater?
Yes. The Sujalam Sufalam Jal Sanchay Abhiyan promotes rainwater harvesting and groundwater recharge. Participating in recharge activities may help in getting NOC faster in some areas.
Are farmers exempt from NOC?
Agricultural users have relaxed rules in many areas but still require registration in critical (dark) zones. Check with local taluka office.
