Flawed article
by saigeetha jagannathan on Feb 07, 2007 01:05 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

The author has pointed that Karnataka released more water than the stipulated amount in the past. But under what circumstances?. All the reservoirs were dangerously filled. Karnataka filled all its reservoirs to its fullest extent and then suddenly released the excess flooding the whole cauvery basin in Tamilnadu.This shows that this article is not credible.

Karnataka has not released water only in three circustances when there is drought. If there is no water in river itself where is the question of releasing water ? Karnataka cannot manufacture water and release water in such drougt situations.

In the reverse case when there is excess water has to be released otherwise entire Karnataka will get sub merged and later Tamilnadu. We cannot defy nature . Can we ?
