Initially when Ist agreement was signed in 1920's Karnataka suffered in the hands of British power and now by this tribunal. The tribunal should have given weightage for the water requirement for drinking water to Bangalore and other cities & towns and in addition to the agriculture crops. As such in TN three crops are grown in a year and in Karn not even one crop is possible if stipulated water is released. As a upper reparian state Karnatake should naturally have Ist right to use more water than the lower reparian state. This is in line with the Bachawat award for Krishna water wherein Maharastra was given max share. Karnatka should appeal against the verdict.
