Cauvery: Tamil Nadu driven to wall again, but conciliation seems only way

Deccan Chronicle  

CHENNAI: The Supreme court had declared in January that it would deliver in a month its verdict on the appeals by Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Kerala against the 2007 final award of the Cauvery Water Disputes Tribunal. Irrespective of which way the apex court verdict would go, Tamil Nadu immediately needs at least ten to 15 tmcft of Cauvery water to save the perilously standing ‘samba’ paddy crop in the delta areas. However, in the larger interests of both the States – just as the annual water requirements of India’s IT capital of Bengaluru cannot be lost sight of, similarly the unique ecology and productive potential of the Cauvery delta spread in the lower riparian state of Tamil Nadu as an “ideal rice growing bowl” in the South should not be ignored either in the interests of food security - there is a greater need today to appreciate the larger dimensions of the dispute. Referring to the controversies the interim award had created and their political fallout on both sides, particularly the difficulties in stipulating “monthly pattern of releases”, Prof Guhan has pointed out that a “more appropriate approach would be to arrive at the allocation for Tamil Nadu on the basis of a share in the yield above Mettur and to formulate rules of regulation, to effectuate the realisation, taking one year with another, of the specified share.” Illustrating his case in the monograph, Prof Guhan has said, if the tribunal decides to allocate ‘X’ tmcft of water to Tamil Nadu in the form of annual inflows into Mettur reservoir, and if ‘Y’ tmcft is the ‘assessed annual yield above Mettur’, then the annual water entitlement to Tamil Nadu instead of being ‘X’ tmcft of water in terms of a quantum, could be specified as ratio of ‘X/Y’ share in the total yield above Mettur for Tamil Nadu. Prof Guhan further shows that Tamil Nadu being “steadfastly stuck to legal claims based on 1892 and 1924 Agreements”, and Karnataka insisting that the earlier Agreements were ‘unequal’ due to historical compulsions, and post-Independence, Karnataka taking aggressive stands as an upper riparian state saying, “Cauvery waters are our waters”, have only been grist to political mills on both sides.
