Karnataka Releases Cauvery Water for Drinking Amid Drought

Karnataka is very dry right now, so the government is releasing water from the Cauvery River just for people to drink.

The Chief Minister asked farmers not to use this water for their crops.

He said that if the reservoirs get more water and fill up, then they can release some for farming.

But right now, they need to save as much as possible because Tamil Nadu is also asking for water, making it even harder to manage.

Farmers might want more water for their fields, but the government says it's better to save it for drinking first.
