It seems the author is quite biased in his opinion. Cauvery flows through almost 7 districts of tamilnadu whereas it flows only thro' 4 districts of karnataka. The author has pointed out that the cauvery basin in Tamilnadu has good amount of ground water. It is true only with the 3 districts coming under cauvery delta region whereas the other districts are mostly drought prone and has very less ground water availability ex.Dharmapuri district.

taminadu govt came with a lower figure so that they can get a favourable share. karnataka gained inspite of this verdict against them. its true the river flows only thru 4 dictricts, but when it comes to drought 3 of them gets hit very badly. that is a fact.
taminadu politicians played politics in the name of cauvery water. now who is to be blamed. karnataka or the tribunal or politicians of tamil nadu.

yeah, true. And TN doesn't do anything to control use of water or harness it optimally. they do not invest on dams or barrages because they are busy denuding forests to distribute to landless labourers and give rice free. They expect karnataka to do all the hard work and then let them have all the water free of cost which is then allowed to flow into the Bay because there are no proper distribution systems in place.

you are hitting right on the nails head. this free regime will come to an end sometime in future. all will have to pay for using water. that is the best optiopn.

Tamilnadu is an inefficient & extravagant user of water resources. They got the award they wanted by misrepresenting the data or hiding vital information. How does it become biased. Is it because karnataka now has a strong case in hand that can be taken to supreme court. Also during years of draught, how tamilnadu is going to share the burden. history is the proof - they are the trouble makers.

why don't you combine 7 districts and make it 1, it will then appear you are getting more water
