New Delhi: The Cauvery Water Regulation Committee (CWRC) directed the Karnataka government Tuesday to release 12,000 cusecs of Cauvery water per day to Tamil Nadu for the next 15 days, amid a dispute between the two southern states over the sharing of the river water. A meeting of the Cauvery Water Management Authority (CWMA) is scheduled to be held later in the day. The CWMA had directed Karnataka earlier as well to ensure the release of Cauvery water to Tamil Nadu. According to the Tamil Nadu government, the flow recorded at Biligundlu ranged between 158 cusecs and 550 cusecs between July 29 and August 2. The C Joseph Vijay-led Tamil Nadu government approached the Supreme Court August 3, seeking directions to Karnataka for an immediate release of its allocated share of Cauvery water.
