ಕಾವೇರಿ ನದಿ ನೀರು ಹಂಚಿಕೆ ವಿಚಾರ | ಶಾಶ್ವತ-ವೈಜ್ಞಾನಿಕವಾದ ಪರಿಹಾರ ಸೂತ್ರ ಬೇಕು : ಸಿದ್ದರಾಮಯ್ಯ

According to Vartha Bharati, former Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has called for a permanent and scientific solution to the long-standing Cauvery river water sharing dispute. Speaking during an all-party meeting held at the Chief Minister's home office in Bengaluru, Siddaramaiah emphasized that the recurring nature of the conflict creates significant administrative challenges for the state government.

Siddaramaiah noted that the issue of water sharing has been a recurring point of contention, with all-party meetings being convened 25 times over the past 76 years to address the crisis. He highlighted that while recent rainfall has helped fill the Kabini and Harangi reservoirs, and the Krishna Raja Sagara (KRS) dam currently holds 19 TMC of water, the state must remain proactive in managing resources to ensure drinking water security.

The former Chief Minister stressed that the state government requires a long-term, data-driven framework to manage water distribution, rather than relying on ad-hoc meetings during periods of rainfall deficiency. The meeting served as a platform for state leaders to discuss the current status of water storage and the necessity of coordinating effectively with the central government and the Cauvery Water Management Authority to protect the state's interests.
