Who it's for
This scheme is available to landowners who hold a valid agricultural deed for their property.
What you get
Once approved, you receive the official legal permission required to drill or deepen a water well on your land.
What it costs you
To obtain the permit, you will need to pay for a technical survey of your land. You must also agree to follow strict limits on how much water you are allowed to consume.
The catch to know
Drilling a well without the proper authorization is a serious violation. If you drill without a permit, you face immediate well closure and heavy fines.
How to apply
