Cauvery Panel Orders Karnataka to Release 3,000 Cusecs of Water 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 24, totaling about 3.88 TMC feet. Tamil Nadu had requested a higher release to address a backlog, but Karnataka cited severe drought and low reservoir inflows, emphasizing its priority to meet drinking water needs. The Cauvery Water Management Authority endorsed the decision amid ongoing disputes over water sharing and drought conditions affecting Karnataka's Cauvery basin.
