Re: South India River Water Issues/Disputes
That one was just a sarcastic remark by a reader I think. if you read the article, it says the drinking water need is 27.6TMC and maybe due to inflows, they have 33 TMC now. It was 29 TMC few days back There were rains in some places last week and that may have resulted in inflows. As usual practise...

Re: South India River Water Issues/Disputes
It is KA's incompetence and callousness that resulted in this brinkmanship. Every year when the monsoon fails, KA has gone in to a dadagiri mode threatening the lower riparian states that the water is theirs and they will not yield whether it's hell or heaven. It's also because of their incompetenc...

Re: South India River Water Issues/Disputes

TN is asking for water for irrigation and despite Karnataka telling any new water release comes at cost of drinking water supply if ...

Mnag, Not sure why you keep mis-representating the facts on 2nd and 3rd crop in TN delta. Do you have any supporting data that the rest of us don't?

Re: South India River Water Issues/Disputes
KA's idea of sharing is - we'll let you have some if we have overflow of our dams. That won't do. I completely understand that KA does need water for irrigation as its cultivated lands have expanded a lot since the agreement, and needs drinking water for Blr population which has exploded. Nobody is...

Re: South India River Water Issues/Disputes
You are going in circles, the point of contention is KA's dams hold water for all the 4 states and not just for KA's own drinking water supply. Yet, time again you are bringing in Mettur to your discussion, the water level is 85ft and with effective dead storage starting at 74ft, there is not a lot...

The water than KA stores in KRS is not KA's property, it's joint ownership of all the 4 states. You're only supporting what i said earlier. When TN al...

Sachin, KA claims the water in its dam is for its own drinking purposes, so it is indeed water thats supposed to go to TN, KL, PY. What they fail to understand is that all the water does not belong to them but to all the 4 states. Doesnt it look self contradictory? TN has 40-50 TMC in mettur which ...
