Tracking the ebb and flow of a long-drawn dispute
Though the genesis of the Cauvery dispute can be traced to a row between the princely States of Mysore and the Madras Presidency over the execution of irrigation works in the late 19th century, it had become incredibly complex only in the last 35 years. According to calculations worked out by former civil servant S. Guhan in his 1993 book The Cauvery River Dispute: Towards Conciliation, the average realisation, as recorded at the Mettur dam, was 378.4 thousand million cubic feet during 1934-70. When the Cauvery Water Disputes Tribunal’s interim order was published in the Union government gazette in December 1991, large-scale disturbances broke out in Karnataka. She gave up her fast on the basis of the Union government’s assurances, but nothing worked till the establishment of the Cauvery River Authority in August 1998. When the Court disposed of the appeals on Friday, stating that recommendations of the Tribunal with regard to the monthly release would be in force for 15 years, it marked the end of a long episode in the dispute, which was essentially over obtaining water in times of need.
