The Cauvery Water Management Authority has asked Karnataka to release 5,000 cusecs of water to Tamil Nadu for another 15 days. In a meeting, Karnataka offered to release 3,000 cusecs while Tamil Nadu demanded 12,500 cusecs. However, an agreement was reached to release 5,000 cusecs for the next 15 days, after which the situation will be reviewed. Karnataka cited the severity of drought in the Cauvery Basin as the reason for their inability to release more water unless the inflows into reservoirs improve.
