Hyderabad: The decision on how to divide up the surplus water from the River Krishna has been made. Karnataka will get more water than what was allocated earlier, while Andhra Pradesh gets the maximum share of surplus water.
The Justice Brijesh Kumar Tribunal was set up six years ago after new claims were filed for River Krishna water by Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Maharashtra.
Andhra now gets 1000 TMC of surplus water, Karnataka gets 911 TMC and Maharashtra will get 666 TMC.
The tribunal verdict can be reviewed only after May 2050.
Reacting to the Tribunal's decision Karnataka's Law Minister S Suresh Kumar said "Justice Brijesh Kumar has responded to our long felt demand. The state will have no difficulty in honouring the decision."
