The Cabinet of Ministers has approved the procedure for keeping the State Register of Artesian Wells, which will become part of the unified state electronic geo-information system of subsoil use that is currently being created in Ukraine.
The relevant decision was made at a government meeting on Friday.
“The big reform of subsoil use continues. To complete its regulatory support in Ukraine there are only a few legal acts left to be adopted. Among them is the order of keeping the register of artesian wells,” the department quoted Minister of Ecology Ruslan Strelts in Telegram.
The procedure for maintaining the State Register of artesian wells defines the procedure for its functioning and presentation of data, as well as introduces an accounting of artesian wells.
According to the information of the Ministry of Ecology, conversion of the State Register into the electronic format will improve transparency in the sphere of geological study and rational use of mineral resources, control and prevent decrease of the quality indicators of underground waters and open public and business access to the data on artesian wells and minimize corruption risks.
The register will be accessible through the State Geological Web Portal, in particular through the electronic cabinet of the subsoil user.
The development of the procedure for maintaining the State Register was carried out within the framework of the law № 2805-IX, which launched the reform of the subsoil use sector.
