Compliance with DGA Resolution No. 1238: Well Monitoring

La DGA Resolution No. 1238 (Exempt), issued on June 21, 2019, establishes the technical conditions and deadlines at the national level for holders of water use rights to install and maintain effective extraction monitoring and transmission systems in their catchment works. This regulation covers both groundwater and surface water, and non-compliance can result in fines ranging from 10 to 2,000 UTM, depending on the severity of the infraction.

Frequency of Notification to the DGA

The frequency with which it must be reported to the DGA varies according to the authorized extraction flow, classified into four categories:

  • Very small flow rates: For withdrawals of less than 2 liters per second, notification must be made twice a year.
  • Lower FlowFor extractions between 2 and 10 liters per second, the notification is monthly.
  • Average Flow: For withdrawals between 10 and 100 liters per second, a biweekly notification is required.
  • Major Flow: For withdrawals greater than 100 liters per second, the notification must be daily.
