Mekedatu: CWC asks Karnataka to submit revised Detailed Project Report
The Central Water Commission has observed that the “proposed consumptive use of water is more than allocation”
The Central Water Commission (CWC) has requested Karnataka to submit a revised Detailed Project Report (DPR) for the Mekedatu Balancing Reservoir-cum-Drinking Water Project. The CWC has expressed concerns over the proposed consumptive use of water, which is more than the allocation made by the Cauvery Water Disputes Tribunal (CWDT) Award. The CWC has suggested that the State revise the DPR in accordance with the CWDT Award and the observations made by it.
