The record
Written from the 19 reports below. Nothing here is unsourced.
- Tamil Nadu has called insufficient the Cauvery Water Regulation Committee's decision to have 3,500 cusecs of water released for the next 15 days, as the Cauvery Water Management Authority meets to review reservoir storage.
- The State says deficient rainfall in the Cauvery's catchment means it should have received about 13 tmc ft since June 1 but got only around 3.5 tmc ft, a shortfall of roughly 9.5 tmc ft.
- Karnataka's four reservoirs hold about 63 tmc ft against a total capacity of 114.57 tmc ft, and Tamil Nadu's experts argue releases of around 7,000 cusecs, yielding about 9 tmc ft, would be reasonable.
- Farmers in delta districts such as Tiruvarur are seeking water releases, even for cattle, as the dispute over sharing matters for agriculture.
What to watch next
- The CWMA's decision after reviewing Karnataka's reservoir storage levels
- Whether Tamil Nadu presses for releases of around 7,000 cusecs based on its shortfall claim
- Any State government response to farmers' requests for water in the Cauvery for cattle and agriculture
