CWRC Orders Karnataka to Release 3,000 Cusecs Daily to Tamil Nadu for 15 Days
The Cauvery Water Regulation Committee directed Karnataka to release 3,000 cusecs of water daily to Tamil Nadu for 15 days starting October 9, totaling 3.88 tmcft. Karnataka highlighted severe water shortages due to a 54% deficit in inflows and prioritized drinking water needs, noting limited availability for irrigation. Tamil Nadu requested additional water releases, but the Cauvery Water Management Authority upheld the release order despite Karnataka's concerns about hydrological distress and low reservoir levels.
