(d) A water harvesting structure is in proposal to be constructed in seasonal Balagoda nallah by erecting RCC check dams for conservation of runoff water and at the same time recharge the ground water resources

Bolani Ore Mines is not using any ground water either for domestic purpose or for industrial purpose neither has it had any plan also to use ground water for future mining activities also

(xvii) Regular monitoring of ground water level and quality should be carried out in and around the mines lease by establishing a network of existing wells and installing new piezometers during the operation The periodic monitoring (at least four times in a year Pre- monsoon (April-May) monsoon (august) Post monsoon (November) and winter (January) once in each season) shall be carried out in consultation with the State Ground Water Board Central Ground Water Authority and the data thus collected may be sent regularly to Ministry of Environment and Forests and its Regional Office Bhubaneswar Central Ground Water Authority and Regional Director Central Ground Water Board If at any stage it is observed that the groundwater table is getting depleted due to the mining activity necessary corrective measures shall be carried out
