Representatives of four riparian states– Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Puducherry– took part in the CWRC meeting held here, official sources said.
During the meeting, the panel led by its chairman Naveen Kumar took note of the inflow of water from river basins due to below normal rainfall. The committee, however, expressed satisfaction that the decision taken in its 11th meeting on July 25 was “implemented in letter and spirit.”
“Having noted that the (water) flows have been below normal, it was decided that the state of Karnataka would continue to release water from its reservoirs such as Krishnaraja Sagar and Kabini dams for the next five days in proportion to the inflows into the reservoirs,” it said in a statement.
