After four years, Tamil Nadu has been experiencing unusually high inflows on the Cauvery during the southwest monsoon (June-September).
It was during the 2018-19 water year (June-May) that the cumulative realisation for the monsoon was nearly 346 thousand million cubic feet (tmc ft), of which 125 tmc ft came in July and 177 tmc ft in August. This year, as on August 11 (only up to which the Central Water Commission has formally shared the data with the riparian States), the aggregate realisation was around 248 tmc ft, of which nearly 107 tmc ft was recorded in July and 125 tmc ft this month.
