maybe it means when there is sufficient rain etc, these are the numbers? if there is no water, as you rightly point out, this order has no practical value. it is time to do a serious thinking on water management in india. but alas, who cares..

If there is no water then Karanataka can happily open the shutters of the Dam. right?

ok, based on these number, bangalore should go to TN ;-) isnt this the logic used by karnataka to claim border regions?

I think we should have a relook at the agricultural and watering practices of both states. Growing sugarcane though irrigation canals is not sustainable and farmers cannot make claims based on that. similarly, drawing water from reservoir which are 100KM away from bangalore is sheer wastage. all the lakes have been filled up by greedy politicians. even entire himalays melted would not be sufficient if farmers start growing water demanding crops. all this needs planning from govt. and education. unfortunately, all governments indulge in jingoism.

Oh yeah, true. Kannadigas have deprived water to Tamil Nadu. Please dont be emotional brother. You dictate terms to Karnataka through Central Government to see that no body in the Cauver region digs a borewell or develop a pond, lake or any other water storing machanisms. You want all the water from our dams, and you say kannadigas are selfish. Please read history. This was a creation of the British, as Brits had settled in Tamiil Nadu in their contonments and wanted your state to prosper and see that the kings in karnataka do not improve, they saw that TN gets major portion of water from cauvery, develop more irrigational lands in TN and deprive water to the people in Karnataka, impose a ban on people in cauvery region on tilling lands and growing anything so that water is not urilized here and crops are grown only in TN and not Mandya and Mysore. So, after giving major portion of Cauvery water for development of TN, Kannadigas have become selfish. Please dont involve in mud slinging. Get the facts right and then speak. Majority of the water which is flown through TN is wasted by letting it flow into the sea, unutilized, so as to say that TN has no water. Just see how many lakes have been developed in TN and how farmers in Mandya and Mysore region have been rendered jobless in view of scarcity of water for irrigation by imposing ban on storing water.

Sorry Aryan to differ from your view for a lit bit. There are no owners for air and water. It just creation of the almighty. But at least, we should have the right to get water for drinking, which is one of the basic rights prescribed in out Constitution. But in view of this order of the Tribunal, we kannadigas will be deprived of the basic amenity of drinking water. Pathetic. This can happen only in India.
In what was then described as a balancing act, the Tribunal gave Tamil Nadu 419 TMC of water (as against the demand of 562 TMC); Karnataka [ Images ] 270 TMC (as against its demand of 465 TMC);now where is the balance? and why is the SC not looking into the actual reality...do they just scrounge up their noses and declare the judgement without even looking at the ground realities?
