A river which runs through many states belong to all those states - and so it should be shared among all those states without hurting each other. I think this verdict does that to a large extent - becuase Karnataka always played foul when it comes to sharing the water. (If Karnataka thinks that Cauvery BELONGS ONLY to Karnataka then, NOT even a DROP of water should come out of the state - even when the monsoon pours down and the whole of Karnataka is under water! Can Karnataka do that? That's why it belongs to Tamil Nadu as much as it belongs to Karanataka! I do not know when Karnataka will get that?!!) I think if you go through the history of this dispute, you will understand that the reason behind this VERDICT is due to the fact that DEPENDENCY of use of Cauvery water is the TN basin is HUGE (as they started using the water first). This may not be a perfect verdict but it is a VERY FAIR verdict! So learn to accept it and move on!
