Tamil Nadu realised, during September 13-19, about one thousand million cubic feet (tmc ft) short of what had been stipulated by the Cauvery Water Management Authority (CWMA) and the Cauvery Water Regulation Committee (CWRC).
The oversight bodies for the Cauvery water release had asked Karnataka to continue releasing 5,000 cubic feet per second (cusecs) for one more fortnight from September 13. In the first week that ended on September 19, the lower riparian State cumulatively received 2.087 tmc ft as against the prescribed quantity of 3.02 tmc ft, according to data from the Central Water Commission (CWC).
