Cauvery water problem would not have arisen: D.K..!?
If the Mekedatu Dam was constructed, the Cauvery water problem would not have arisen. Last year, 400 tmc of water was wasted in the sea. A small amount of water stored would not have been a problem. deputy chief minister D.K. said that the supreme court should pay attention to this. The Mekedatu project is the only solution to the current Cauvery water sharing problem between the states of karnataka and tamil Nadu. If Mekedatu Dam is constructed, such a problem will not arise. We have informed the supreme court about this. The court should pay attention to this," said deputy chief minister D.K., who is also the Water Resources Minister. Shivakumar said.
Speaking to reporters in Bengaluru on Friday, he said that if the Mekedatu dam had been constructed, the Cauvery water problem would not have arisen. Last year, 400 tmc of water was wasted in the sea. A small amount of water stored would not have been a problem. He said that the supreme court should pay attention to this. The court itself constituted the Cauvery Water Management Authority. This is a technical committee, which should focus on the technical aspects at present. When the state is facing severe drought and there is no water, it is not possible to release such amount of water to tamil Nadu. That is why we have filed an appeal to the supreme Court.
The most important solution in such a situation is the Mekedatu scheme. We cannot use Mekedatu Dam water for irrigation. Can be used for drinking water only. Goat hunting planning can help a lot in times of trouble like this. We have raised this issue in our petition to the supreme Court. He said that the supreme court should pay attention to this. Our government has given all the information to the court and is committed to look after the welfare of the farmers of the state. tamil Nadu can use its share of water for any purpose. We cannot question that. But tamil Nadu used water cautiously during the crisis. He said that he could have advised his farmers as we had advised our farmers not to sow.
