Karnataka and TN to hold first Cauvery talks in over a decade

Karnataka and Tamil Nadu are going to have a very important meeting about sharing water from the Cauvery River.

This is the first time in over ten years that the leaders of both states will talk directly about this issue.

The meeting is happening in Bengaluru on August 3.

Both states have different views on how much water should be shared and about a new dam project called Mekedatu.

Karnataka says it needs more water because of poor rains, while Tamil Nadu wants its fair share.

The meeting is important because both states need to find a way to share the water fairly, especially since there isn't much water available right now.
