Cauvery Water Regulation Committee

Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar on Thursday said Karnataka will appeal against the direction of Cauvery Water Regulation Committee (CWRC) once again recommending the state to release river water to neighbouring Tamil Nadu.

The Cauvery Water Regulation Committee's direction to Karnataka to release water to Tamil Nadu will be challenged before the Supreme Court, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah said on Wednesday.

Supreme Court refused to interfere with CWMA's order to release 5,000 cusecs of water from Karnataka to Tamil Nadu.

The Cauvery Water Management Authority (CWMA) on Monday reiterated the decision of the Cauvery Water Regulation Committee, asking Karnataka to continue releasing 5,000 cusecs of water to Tamil Nadu for another 15 days.

Karnataka Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy on Saturday accused the Centre of having taken a "unilateral" decision in forming the Cauvery Water Regulation Committee (CWRC), hurting the state's interests.

The Centre today advised Karnataka and Tamil Nadu state governments to "cooperate" with each other on the sharing of Cauvery waters. This comes after an angry Tamil Nadu claimed that Karnataka had failed to release water as per the final order of the Cauvery Water Disputes Tribunal, said sources.

Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah today accused his Tamil Nadu counterpart of "politicising" the Mekedatu dam project across river Cauvery and reaffirmed his government's commitment to go ahead with the project.

Tamil Nadu on Wednesday urged the Centre to advise Karnataka not to take up any irrigation, hydro power projects, including the proposed Mekedatu drinking water project in Cauvery basin as it violates the final orders of the Cauvery Water Disputes Tribunal and affects the interest of its farmers.
