Karnataka and T.N. should use CWMA to arrive at a distress-sharing formula, says Karnataka’s former Chief Secretary

The Hindu  

Tamil Nadu and Karnataka, the principal riparian States of the Cauvery basin, can use the framework established by the Cauvery Water Management Authority to evolve a distress-sharing formula, according to A. Ravindra, former Chief Secretary of Karnataka. In a telephone interview to The Hindu on Wednesday, Dr. Ravindra, who served as the Chief Secretary 21 years ago and faced contempt of court proceedings initiated by Tamil Nadu in the Supreme Court over Cauvery water release, said the technical mechanism available with the CWMA could supply all the data. When told that Tamil Nadu’s Water Resources Minister Duraimurugan, ranked number two in the Cabinet, had been arguing against the option of talks because, in his assessment, such a course would amount to negating all the gains made by Tamil Nadu in the last 30-odd years through the Supreme Court and the Tribunal, the former Chief Secretary replied that the States could then use the platform provided by the CWMA to arrive at a formula. In the ultimate analysis, “what is important is that the two States must work out a formula to share the scarce resource of water,” Dr. Ravindra added.
