Cauvery Committee, Authority to meet on Tuesday to review water situation
As on date, the combined storage of four reservoirs in Karnataka was around 88 tmc ft. against the total capacity of 114.57 tmc ft.
The Cauvery Water Management Authority (CWMA) and the Cauvery Water Regulation Committee (CWRC) are set to meet on Tuesday to assess the water situation in the region. According to data released by the Central Water Commission (CWC) as of August 6, Tamil Nadu has received approximately 4.6 tmc ft. of water this month, meeting the mandated 4.5 tmc ft. by the CWMA.
This brings the total amount received by Tamil Nadu since June 1 to around 8.3 tmc ft., significantly less than the 49 tmc ft. it would have typically received in a normal year. Karnataka, on the other hand, has had its four reservoirs hold about 88 tmc ft. against a total capacity of 114.57 tmc ft. following the CWRC's directive to release 12,000 cusecs of water daily to Tamil Nadu for 15 days starting from July 29.
