Kaveri in Karnataka

Cauveri River at Sangam,in Srirangapatna near Bangalore

Srirangapatna. An island in the Kaveri River

In its course through Karnataka, the channel is interrupted by twelve "anicuts" (dams) for the purpose of irrigation. From the anicut at Madadkatte, an artificial channel is diverted a distance of 72 miles, irrigating an area of 10,000 acres (40 km²), and ultimately bringing its water supply to the town of Mandya. Near Srirangapatna, there is an aqueduct, the Bangara Doddi Nala, which was constructed in the 17^th century by the Wodeyar maharaja of Mysore, Ranadhira Kantirava, in memory of his favorite consort. It is said to be the only aqueduct where the water from a river, dammed upstream, is carried by the aqueduct over the very same river few miles downstream ^{[citation needed]}. This aqueduct also served as a motorable bridge till 1964. In addition to providing many ancient and modern canals with water from the river for irrigational purposes, the Kaveri also serves as the main drinking water source for many towns and villages. The cities of Mandya and Mysore depend almost entirely on the Kaveri for their drinking water supply.

River usage

The primary uses of Kaveri are providing water for irrigation, water for household consumption and the generation of electricity.

An estimate at the time of the first Five Year Plan, put the total flow of the Kaveri at 12 million acre-feet(15 km³), of which 60% was used for irrigation. ^[3] The economy of India is based in part on planning through her five-year plans, developed, executed and monitored by the Planning Commission. ...

The Torekadanahalli pumpstation sends 540 Mld (million liters per day) of water from Kaveri 100 km to Bangalore ^{[4] [5]}.

The water for the Kaveri is primarily supplied by monsoon rains. Dams, such as the Krishna Raja Sagara Dam and Mettur Dam, and those on its tributaries such as Banasura Sagar Dam project on a Kabini River tributary, store water from monsoon periods and release the water during the dry months. Even so, during the months of February-May, water levels are often quite low, and in some channels and distributaries, riverbeds may become dry. ^{[citation needed]} Flow generally begins to increase in June or July ^{[citation needed]}. However, in some years when rains are light, the low river level can lead to agricultural distress in areas dependent upon Kaveri for irrigation.^{[citation needed]} Bold text[[ // [[Image:Media:Example. ...

According to a study conducted by the central government in 1972, the utilisation of water from Kaveri in Tamil Nadu was 489 tmc and Karnataka's utilization of 177 tmc. With the growth in the population, Karnataka wishes to increase its utilization to 465 tmc, against its present usage of 312.32 tmc. It is against this background that Tamil Nadu went to the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court of India is the highest court of the land as established by Part V, Chapter IV of the Constitution of India. ...

The Kaveri Tribunal, in its interim award of June 1991, ordered that Karnataka should release 205 tmc of water to Tamil Nadu during one "water year" - from June to May. It also stipulated a monthly quota for flow. Karnataka has followed the interim order and has released much more than 205 tmc of water every year except during the year 1995-1996 when the shortfall was merely about 10 percent.^[12][13] The Tribunal which had been investigating the issue for 16 years finaly came out with the verdict on 5th of February 2007 of 419 tmc for Tamil Nadu, 270 tmc for Karnataka, 50 tmc for Kerala and 7 tmc for Pondichery, a verdict which both Karnataka and Tamil Nadu are believed to challenge.
