MS Swaminathan had started research to discover a veriety of rice that can grow with less water and give more yield. Karunanidhi stopped the research for political reasons. If that variety is not the same as the one mentioned by the author of this article, then Karnataka should fund the research and adopt it. Else, adopt the variety mentioned by the author. Repair the canals and utilize the water judiciously.
It is too much to expect scientific verdict from tribunals. In the last 16-17 years, they might have done 100 mandays of work!!!!

bang on target. karunanidhi must have stopped it for vote bank politics and his career depends on it. where as MSSwaminathan's is a fight to give more to the farmers and consumers. Karnataka has a history of contributing immensely to the development of science and technology. i think kiran's suggestion is apt. we should take up the matter with karnataka government to invite swaminathan to set up a researh and development instittute for the development of agriculture that will benefit all the humanity

Karunanidhi has played his entire politics over last 3-4 decades over cauvery ..exploiting the tamilian emotions over this river .. Poor tamils, also keep getting fooled by this guy ..and today the people are fighting water wars over the net , while the old man is enjoying himself, basking in reflected glory ... wake up tamils, find a good leader ..
