Tamil Nadu Seeks Supreme Court Order for Cauvery Water Share

Tamil Nadu says it should get more water from the Cauvery River.

The state says Karnataka has a lot of water stored in its dams and should give Tamil Nadu 26.954 TMC of it.

Karnataka was told to release only about 4.5 TMC, but Tamil Nadu says the actual flow was much less.

Recent rains in Karnataka’s catchment areas have increased water, so Tamil Nadu believes it deserves a bigger share.

The Tamil Nadu government asked the Supreme Court to make Karnataka give the water it owes.

The court will decide if Karnataka must release the requested amount.

This is part of a long‑running water dispute between the two states.

The Supreme Court will look at the rules set by the Cauvery Water Management Authority and the Cauvery Water Regulation Committee.

The outcome will affect farmers and people who rely on the river in both states.
