Sharing of water has been the bone of contention all these years between Karnataka and Tamilnadu. It could have been amicably settled had our politicians sat through it seriously and settled this matter 16 years back. It is they who have kept the fires of hatredness all along. The state which is actually contributing to the flow of river by preserving the catchment areas and feeding the water to the river should definitely get the lion's share and Tamilnadu should not create problems.
