Two committees will review the situation and issue orders regarding Cauvery water distribution. The order was to release water from Biligundlu. Under normal circumstances, there is a mandate to release 177.25 tmc water in a year. Our state needs 284.85 TMC of water. No distress formula has been formulated in the Supreme Court. The CM explained that the tribunal itself has decided to have 2 committees.

We have been protesting every time a meeting was called

This year there was a problem due to no rain in the month of August. Even this month there is hardly any rain. Tamilnadu will receive rains in the month of September. So far 43 TMC of water has gone. It has been ordered that 123 TMC of water should be released. But we have not left the water. We have been protesting every time the Cauvery Authority called a meeting. We said that there is no water. We had filed an application before the Supreme Court. We need 70 TMC water for irrigation to sustain the crop. 30 tmc is required for drinking water. And industries require 3 TMC of water. The state has a total requirement of 106 TMC. But we have only 50 TMC of water. Our first priority is drinking water, he explained.

The Chief Minister said that decision will be taken after discussing about all the demands in the meeting with the team of experts in the evening.
