Installation of Telemetry flow meter complying CGWA Guidelines
According to CGWA guidelines, if an industry is extracting water from the ground in excess amount, it is bound to inform the same to the authority. Later the authority will provide NOC taking into consideration the water requirement of the industry. Once the NOC is issued the industry should install the flow meter and Piezometer (if mentioned) meeting the specifications of the governing body.
The installation of a telemetry flow meter should be regulated in the following manner:
- The meter shall be installed at the discharge point at the bore well before branching.
- No bypassing of pipe is allowed before the installed flow meter.
- The pipe must have a full bore pass all the time so no air can pass through it manipulating the flow measurement.
- Sufficient upstream and downstream space shall be provided for the proper installation of the meter.
- In case there is no full bore pass of water, the meter shall be installed in the U-band position as shown below.
