On the directions of the Supreme Court over the Cauvery River row, seven men, their instruments and a boat are literally standing between the states of Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. Their job is to ensure that Karnataka releases 12000 cusecs of Cauvery water daily till September 20 to Tamil Nadu, not a drop more or less. On the outskirts is a Central Water Commission (CWC) facility where the river channel separates the two states by 160m. The seven member CWC team calls this as the 'centre line'.
