Before a borehole is drilled, authorization to drill the borehole has to be sought first from the appropriate Catchment Council. It is illegal to drill a borehole without authorization.
Groundwater Abstraction Permits: An abstraction permit is required before abstracting groundwater. It is illegal to abstract water without a valid permit obtainable from the appropriate Catchment Council. ZINWA Groundwater Department is very conversant with all types of permits needed for the various situations and the registration required.
ZINWA Groundwater Department would secure abstraction permits for its clients without the valued client going through the various processes.
In terms of sections 4, 6, 34(1) and (2), and 35 of the Water Act (CAP 20:24) and Statutory Instrument 206/2001, the Minister of Water Resources Development and Management is calling for the following:
1. With effect from 2 May to 30 June 2012, all borehole owners should register their boreholes with the Zimbabwe National Water Authority (ZINWA) or the nearest Catchment Council Offices.
2. All prospective borehole owners should with effect from 2 May 2012 get a permit for the drilling of a borehole from ZINWA or the nearest Catchment Council Offices.
