More than 90% of the Cauvery water is shar … More than 90% of the Cauvery water is shared by the states of Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. In this Case Study, I am focusing only on these two states to look at the window of opportunity for a more just and sustainable solution to the river basin dispute. Another reason is that rest of the two parties to the dispute—State of Kerala and Union Territory of Puducherry—are not extremely concerned about the dispute because the state of Kerala is getting most of its water needs from other sources, and Puducherry is getting in commensurate with its need, and both these parties constitute only a small percentage of the water available from Cauvery river for use (<6-7%).
Both the states of Tamil Nadu and Karnataka are excessively dependent on the Cauvery river for meeting their irrigation needs. Focus for both the states so far has been on expanding irrigation infrastructure than to increase water efficiency use in the sector.
Drinking water needs is also an important issue between the states. Both the needs rely heavily on the river for meeting drinking sector water requirements.eeting drinking sector water requirements. +
