CWRC orders Karnataka to release 3,500 cusecs to Tamil Nadu; state may appeal

The Cauvery Water Regulation Committee has ordered Karnataka to release water to Tamil Nadu. Karnataka plans to challenge this directive, citing severe water scarcity and low reservoir levels. Officials argue existing storage is only sufficient for drinking water needs. Tamil Nadu disputes Karnataka's claims and points to a significant water deficit. The state faces challenges in meeting the mandated flow due to transmission losses.
