The discussions center on diverting 41tmcft of water from the Godavari to the inter-state border, although consensus on the implementing agreement has not been reached. The ongoing Cauvery dispute highlights resource shortages, as Tamil Nadu received significantly less water than stipulated by the Cauvery Water Management Authority.
