A case of troubled waters

The Hindu  

The Andhra Pradesh government’s ambitious plan to link the waters of the Godavari and Krishna has become controversial. According to the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act, 2014, if any State wants to build a project on any river in these two States, it must inform the Godavari River Management Board and the Krishna River Management Board as well as the neighbouring State. Recalling that the Reorganisation Act provides for project-wise allocation of water between the riparian States, Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy has also stated that his government would put up a strong case before the Krishna Water Disputes Tribunal-II for the allocation of Krishna river water to Telangana under Section 3 of the Inter-State River Water Disputes Act, 1956. Telangana contends that the Apex Council set up under the Reorganisation Act also supported the claim for allocation of water between Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, as per Section 3 of ISRWDA. The Andhra Pradesh government has said that a hybrid model would be adopted for completion of the project and would involve State and Central funding and private partnerships.
