The judgement is really a welcome one and people who raise a hue and cry must realize that even the U.N. rule says that the right for water resources of any river is mainly for the persons at the tail end areas and not for its place of origin. if karnataka says it has more rights to use its water just because cauvery originates from its state, then how about resources like electricity that they enjoy from neyveli lignite which is a property of tamilnadu and the most able and efficient manpower in software industry is mainly provided by Tamilnadu . Also understand the fact that there are considerable number of kannadigas living in Tamilnadu too.
