RE:RE:RE:Kaveri waters

BTW Rohit, there are already 2 dams along Cauvery in Tamil Nadu, one is Mettur Dam and the second is Kallanai Dam. These are apart from few small dams along Cauvery and also few along Amaravathi another tributary of Cauvery. You should visit the cauvery delta area along the coast of Bay of Bengal to see how much of water is getting "wasted". As you claim, TN is not allowing excess water to get into sea, however some amount of water has to reach the sea for environmental reasons. We can not say why to waster water by sending it to sea, rather we will build a dam at the coast to retain all. If every country says that, imagine the situation will be disastrous.

I am trying to convey here, that the need is for us as well for TN, one us to understand that before being judgemental. Also, if you compare the final verdit with interim order, Karnataka stands to gain atleast 13 tmc. Please review the order carefully once again.
