Karnataka has told the Centre that the decision of the Cauvery Water Regulation Committee (CWRC) asking the State to release water at the rate of 5,000 cusecs daily cannot be practically implemented.
Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, in a letter to Union Jal Shakti Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat, has said that it cannot be practically implemented without endangering the interest of farmers for irrigation and humans, and livestock depending on the Cauvery river system for drinking water.
