The extraction and use of groundwater is regulated by law in the UAE.
Residents who dig wells for groundwater without obtaining a permit from relevant authorities face hefty fines ranging from Dh2,000 to Dh10,000 in the northern emirate of Fujairah.
These fines may be higher depending on the violation involved in each case. In 2020, for example, a duo was fined Dh3 million on charges of digging a water well and selling groundwater without permission.
The Fujairah Environment Authority offers a service through which the process of regulating the drilling of wells is carried out as per environmental standards and requirements.
The authority has explained how to obtain such a permit, from filing the application to getting the permit.
This service applies to all natural persons (individuals) and legal persons (commercial, industrial, and mining companies), the authority said on its official website.
Processing the application takes two working days and those interested can apply online via the authority's website.
Fee Category | Amount |
Digging a water well on a farm | Dh200 |
Drilling a water well in facilities | Dh10,000 |
