Tamilnadu is the ultimate loser
by saigeetha jagannathan on Feb 07, 2007 12:57 PM

I request the readers and the author to read the verdict properly before making emotional comments like "It is our water!!!.We cant share!!!"etc. Media is to blame for the entire episode for its flawed report.
Karnataka has to release only 192 TMC of water to Tamilnadu which includes
1.10 TMC - for environmental protection
2.4 TMC - share for inevitable drainage into sea.
3. 10 TMC & 3 TMC - sharing with kerala thro' Amaravathy and Pambar resevoirs.
The remaining is the actual share for Tamilnadu.
Whereas the total 270 TMC share of karnataka excludes excess during monsoon. During Monsoons, karnataka needn't give even 1 TMC in addition to the stipulated amount. The author has not taken these things in account. Look at his figures.
