ತಮಿಳುನಾಡಿಗೆ ನಿತ್ಯ 12 ಸಾವಿರ ಕ್ಯೂಸೆಕ್​ ನೀರು ಹರಿಸುವಂತೆ CWRC ಆದೇಶ

The Cauvery Water Regulation Committee (CWRC) has issued a directive requiring the state of Karnataka to release 12,000 cusecs of water daily to Tamil Nadu for the next 15 days. The decision follows a meeting held by the committee where representatives from both states presented their respective positions regarding water availability and regional requirements.

During the proceedings, the Karnataka government highlighted the current rainfall deficit, the status of water storage levels in its Cauvery basin reservoirs, and the prevailing drought conditions affecting the state. Despite these concerns, the CWRC maintained its recommendation for the specified water release to ensure equitable distribution as per existing mandates.

In response to the directive, the Karnataka government is expected to challenge the CWRC's order before the Cauvery Water Management Authority (CWMA). The dispute over the sharing of Cauvery river water remains a significant point of contention between the two states, often necessitating intervention by federal regulatory bodies to manage supply during periods of low rainfall.
