What happened
Tamil Nadu sought 40 TMC of water from Karnataka to meet immediate irrigation and drinking needs, insisting that the release must comply with the Supreme Court's 2018 verdict. The Cauvery Water Regulation Committee recommended that Karnataka release 3500 cusecs of water per day for 15 days. However, Karnataka officials stated they cannot release water due to a severe shortage in the Cauvery basin and lack of rainfall.
