Cauvery dispute: As SC asks Karnataka to 'live and let live', what's at the root of this fight?

Firstpost  

Setting up a Cauvery Management Board or Authority, as suggested by the Tribunal, on the lines of the Bhakra Beas Management Board is perhaps the only way to ensure that the dispute doesn’t repeat itself like a stuck record whenever rainfall is deficient. The court asked Karnataka to consider giving Cauvery water to Tamil Nadu to help that state continue to “exist as an entity”. At the root of the dispute is Tamil Nadu’s claim that Karnataka’s dams on the river impound more water than they should and stop it from flowing down. Karnataka’s contention is that Tamil Nadu had resorted to “prior-appropriation” of Cauvery water and that the British made it possible. The Tribunal said that Karnataka should release 192 tmcft of water to Tamil Nadu in every “water year”, and that’s what becomes contentious when the rains fail.
