Cauvery row: Path to a Constitutional crisis
While Karnataka has told the Supreme Court that it can't release Cauvery water to Tamil Nadu till December due to shortage, here is a look at the timeline of the whole issue:
1892 and 1924: Two agreements in place to share water
1974: Agreement comes to an end. Karnataka constructs dams and increases irrigation area
1970 to 1980: Fact finding committee comes into force. Finds that Tamil Nadu irrigated an area of 1,440,000 acres to 2,580,000 acres. Committee finds Karanataka irrigated 680,000 acres. This leads to Tamil Nadu demanding an increase in water share.
1990: Both states move Supreme Court following which direction issued to Centre to constitute the Cauvery Water Dispute Tribunal (CWDT).
1991: CWDT passes interim order directing Karnataka to release 205 TMCft of water to Tamil Nadu every year. Karnataka witnesses severe riots in which several persons are killed.
1995: Tamil Nadu goes to Supreme Court. Court tells TN to approach tribunal and also asks PM Narasimha Rao to intervene. PM orders release of 6 tmcft of water to TN. Karnataka says interim order flawed and was ambiguous on distress sharing.
