Cauvery water row: SC to hear Tamil Nadu’s plea seeking Karnataka’s compliance on August 13
Tamil Nadu says Karnataka has 77.537 TMC in reservoir storage and seeks court orders to enforce 3,500 cusecs a day at Biligundlu.
- On Monday, August 10, 2026, the Tamil Nadu Government, headed by Chief Minister Joseph Vijay, sought an early Supreme Court hearing over the Cauvery water dispute with Karnataka. The Court scheduled the hearing for Thursday, August 13.
- Karnataka has allegedly 'failed' to share water despite holding 77.537 TMC in its reservoirs as of August 3, with flows at Biligundlu ranging between 158 and 550 cusecs from July 29 to August 2. The State claims Karnataka defies Central Water Management Authority directives.
- Tamil Nadu contends the Cauvery Water Management Authority allocation of 4.536 TMC is 'very less,' demanding 26.954 TMC to cover the shortfall from June 1 to August 12. Senior advocate Vaidyanathan highlighted farmers face a 'perilous situation.'
- Seeking judicial intervention, the State asked the Court to direct Karnataka to ensure a flow of 3,500 cusecs for 15 days from Kabini and Krishna Raja Sagara reservoirs. The State further requested CWMA monitor flows every 10 days at Biligundlu.
- The DMK, Tamil Nadu's main opposition party, also filed a plea urging the Court to compel Karnataka's compliance. Recent heavy rainfall in upstream catchment areas increased storage across KRS, Kabini, Harangi, and Hemavathy to 77.537 TMC total.
