This clearly depicts the immature and lack of sagacity among certain so called Indians. It is better to educate that being in India, every one is entitled to enjoy the resource of the nation equally and not spread hatred and discrimination. Should India require persons of this type?

Agree with you that every one is entitled to enjoy the resource of thenation equally. But this veredict is biased in favour of Tamil Naadu under the pressure of Politicians and hence should be redrawn considering the Karnatka's requirement

This is not true. It may be noticed that Tamil nadu had received a greater share of water during the treaty dateing back to decades. But of late due to the erratic and fanatic attitude of Karnataka, this has been consideratly reduced. Giving the surplus water is no justification. Also it may be noted that most of the percentage of water mentioned in the present decree comes from the catchment area in Tamilnadu. Karnataka has no need to regret for the same. The number 400 looks big, but Karnataka would only need to release the surplus water to reach this figure. So who is the biggest loser? Who has really been benefitted? Who has really been shown consideration and favouritism.

Is that the reason TN asking for a separate country? TN has water dispute with all the neighboring states. When Karnataka does not get good rainfall from where we give you the water. And most part of Mandya district (Which is has most part on Kaveri belt in Karnataka) does not have water for the 2nd cultivation of the year, you guys asking water for the 3rd cultivation. Don%u2019t you think this is irrational and fanatic?

Kerala in reality does not have any right to Cauvery water. Despite all this they have been alloted a small share. It is well advised of persons like Namboodiri not to speak much on this. Kerala has not allowed Tamil nadu to raise the height of the dam, thereby violating the supreme court orders. When the neighbouring states violate the law, it is natural for Tamil nadu to make an issue of this.

Yep.. Even in that case.. there are international water treaties and nation states are not supposed to violate that. Grow up. Cauvery is NOT a private property of Karnataka. Anyone who's an Indian has a share to it. Karnataka was created in 1960-70. Cauvery is running from the time immemorial. Just because state demarcations in 60s allowed you the control of the land where Cauvery starts doesn't mean you own it.

nobody is grudging TN share of water. The question is only of equality. Bangalore which is contributing the highest revenue from IT exports will be severely affected if there is a shortage of water. May be this is what the people of TN want, so that they can getmore of these IT industries to Chennai. TN grows 3 crops a year while Karnatake has to stop at one. Is this justice. It is nice to say that we should behave as one country. Yes we should. But, is the judgement fair to all and does the judgement encourage all of us to feel that we are one country?

This is just an emotional outburst of words from a fanatic. Just by this decree, IT industries in Karnataka would not suffer. Karnataka has an excellent ground water table as compared to any of the southern states. Even if the entire Cauvery water was distributed to other states, it would still have abundant water. Karnataka's water source include Cauvery, Krishna, Tungabhadra etc.

How many of you here are real farmers? I am from village in far end of cauvery delta, recently, there has never been more than one crops. Raising two crops is a distant past. 3?? Are you going by media propaganda??
Instead of discussing this issue as one state VS another. Focus should be on better use of resource. Entire cauvery water resource should be regulated based on cauvery basin population and its needs. Irrigation lands and industries should limited.
Water conservation, Best Irrigation methods, Suitable crops utilising less waters should be real focus throught the basin.
With clear signs of gloabl warming onset, we should stay united to face the future.
