Tamil Nadu wants a Cauvery Management Board set up to implement the Supreme Court mandated water sharing scheme, which Karnataka is against. Photo: AFPThe Cauvery water sharing dispute has come to a boil in Tamil Nadu once again over the past two weeks. On 16 February, the Supreme Court asked the centre to frame a scheme within six weeks to implement a formula for sharing Cauvery water. On its part, Tamil Nadu moved a contempt petition against cabinet secretary P.K. Though the Supreme Court largely upheld the Cauvery Water Disputes Tribunal (CWDT) award of 2007, it reduced Tamil Nadu’s share by 14.75 thousand million cubic feet.
