Why is the Cauvery dispute not being resolved?


Karnataka is experiencing a water shortage as well. tamil Nadu received more water under the Cauvery water sharing formula, while karnataka received less. karnataka residents assert that since the river originates from our region, we should receive more water. The conflict this year began after August. karnataka and tamil Nadu experienced below-average monsoon rainfall, which resulted in a water shortage. chief minister Siddaramaiah stated that karnataka requires 106 TMC of water, of which 70 TMC is required for irrigation, 30 TMC is required for drinking water, and 3 TMC is required for industry.

Siddaramaiah claims that karnataka currently only has 50 TMC of water. There will be a riot in karnataka if we give this to tamil Nadu. Jaggi Vasudev has also posted in the meantime. According to Vasudev, kaveri is unhappy because it lacks water, so the two states shouldn't fight over it. The Deccan Herald reported that this year's Kharif sowing has been hampered by erratic rains. This time, the government set a goal to plant 88 lakh hectares of land, but this goal was unattainable. In karnataka, sowing has only been completed on 66 lakh hectares this year. Less than last year, by 7 lakh hectares.
