The Cauvery issue cannot be treated lightly. At a time when Karnataka is facing water scarcity and our farmers have been advised against cultivation, the direction to release 12,000 cusecs of water for another 15 days means giving away more than 15 TMC of water.

#WATCH | Tamil Nadu: Farmers' association leader Ayya Kannu says, "... The Supreme Court of India gave directions to the Karnataka government to release water to Tamil Nadu every month... So far, more than 80 TMC of water is in Karnataka. Karnataka CM DK Shivakumar refused to release 3500 cusecs of water to Tamil Nadu. The day before yesterday, there was heavy rain in Kerala.

Today in Parliament, DMK MPs raised the urgent issue of Karnataka’s failure to release the mandated 7,000 cusecs of Cauvery water to Tamil Nadu. In the Rajya Sabha, we moved a Rule 267 notice seeking an immediate discussion on this critical matter, but permission was not granted. In protest, we staged a walkout, with our colleagues in the Lok Sabha also joining in solidarity. We urged the Union Government to take immediate steps to ensure the release of Cauvery water, halt the Mekedatu Project, and constitute a Tribunal to safeguard the rights of Tamil Nadu as the lower riparian State, while protecting the interests of farmers and the drinking water needs of its people.

So the Chief Minister and all the senior stakeholders will sit and take a call on what to do next. We are here to protect the interests of our people. We will not do anything that will go against their interest. Whatever has to be done will be done within the legal framework."

VIDEO | Bengaluru: On the Mekedatu project, Karnataka CM DK Shivakumar says, "Mekedatu is not just close to my heart, it is important for the whole of South India... We are committed to releasing the 177.25 TMC (thousand million cubic) of water mandated by the Supreme Court and will continue to honour that commitment. It is a balancing reservoir project aimed at ensuring water security. Not even a single TMC of water from this project can be used for irrigation. Its primary purpose is to provide drinking water, especially for Bengaluru, whose population is growing rapidly. We cannot bring water from the Krishna river; the Cauvery is our only source. With a balancing reservoir in place, we can store and manage water more effectively..."

Half of England and the whole of Wales are now in drought. Farmers are harvesting early, crops are under pressure, and livestock producers are already feeding animals with supplies meant for winter. Yet successive governments have treated food and water security as somebody else’s problem. Bad trade deals have exposed British farmers to unfair competition while globalisation has made the country increasingly dependent on fragile overseas supply chains. At the same time, our water has been left in the hands of private monopolies that extract profit, neglect infrastructure and expect the public to carry the cost. Now data centres, housing developments and industry are placing even greater demands on supplies, often without the transparency or regulation the public deserves. Water security is food security, and food security is national security. Government should be supporting British farmers at scale, protecting productive land, rebuilding reservoirs and water infrastructure, regulating major industrial users and taking our water system back from profiteers into full public ownership. If a government will not protect the soil beneath our feet and the water in our taps, it has abandoned the most basic duty of statecraft. It is not a modern economy. It is an unprotected vulnerability. #supportourfarmers

🚨 NEWS! We’re taking the Government to court. Today, the High Court granted River Action permission to challenge the Government over its failure to publish a clear policy for dealing with failing water companies. Why does this matter? With Thames Water facing serious financial instability and ongoing performance failures, the public deserves to know how and when the Government would step in. 💧 Our water is an essential public service. 🔍 Decisions about its future cannot be made behind closed doors. ⚖️ The Government must be transparent and accountable. Today’s ruling means our challenge can now proceed to a full hearing - an important step towards greater transparency and accountability in England’s water industry. We’ll keep pushing to make sure decisions about the future of our water are made openly, accountably and in in the best interest of the public and environment. 👉 Find out more about our legal challenge: #LegalAction #RescueOurRivers

Handri Neeva water is now flowing from Kothacheruvu towards Puttaparthi. 🌊💧 With the expansion of irrigation and drinking-water projects, a large part of Rayalaseema is increasingly dependent on Krishna River water. In the coming years, a significant portion of Andhra Pradesh’s population may depend heavily on Krishna waters. This is a moment for us to think ahead and develop alternative and sustainable water sources. We should not depend completely on a single river or water source. One river cannot be the only lifeline for millions. We must plan today for the water security of tomorrow. 🌱💧

🇵🇸Donate for Gaza, and for drinking water.🇵🇸 👇👇👇👇 Amid the scorching heatwave gripping the Gaza Strip, clean drinking water has become an urgent and critical need. Thousands of displaced people are living in plastic tents that have become like closed ovens under the blazing sun, exacerbating fluid loss and intensifying the need for safe water, especially for children and the elderly. With dwindling sources of potable water, many are forced to use contaminated or unsafe water, threatening the spread of further diseases and epidemics. The high temperatures, poor shelter conditions, and lack of proper hygiene have made obtaining a clean glass of water a daily struggle for displaced people in Gaza. Children, infants, and the sick are the most vulnerable to dehydration and waterborne illnesses, at a time when the need for safe drinking water is growing and families are facing a new health catastrophe. Providing drinking water for displaced people is not a luxury; it is a basic right and an urgent humanitarian need. Donate now and share this message.

3 Strong Reasons to Say NO to the Bankacherla Project 🚫 1. Historical Betrayal of Telangana’s Water Rights • For the last three decades, CM Chandrababu Naidu has consistently opposed every irrigation project meant for Telangana. • As per the law, Telangana is legally entitled to 968 TMC of Godavari water. CBN must publicly acknowledge this and immediately withdraw his objection to Telangana’s rightful share. 2. Bankacherla is Illegal Without a Scientific Water Assessment • The Godavari Tribunal has already allocated 968 TMC to Telangana and 512 TMC to Andhra Pradesh. • Any project must be taken up only after a scientific and committee-based analysis of Assured and Surplus water. • Based on this assessment, Telangana is entitled to 65% and Andhra to 35% of further allocations. No project can be approved before this process is completed. 3. Telangana’s Krishna Water Share is Still Denied • Telangana is yet to receive 45 TMC of Krishna water as per the 1980 Tribunal, post bifurcation. Why is CBN silent on this injustice? • When 80 TMC of water is diverted from Polavaram to Krishna, the legal share is: Telangana – 45 TMC, Karnataka – 21 TMC, Maharashtra – 14 TMC. • If diversion exceeds 80 TMC, Pro Rata distribution must apply. • CBN now wants to illegally draw 200 TMC, which means Telangana's share should increase to 157 TMC. We challenge you, CBN, to follow the Tribunal’s ruling. We say NO to Bankacherla because it is unconstitutional, unjust, and a betrayal of Telangana’s farmers and future generations. This is a fight for our rightful water. Stand up. Speak out. #bankacherla #WaterRights #telangana

#WATCH | Delhi: JD(U) MP Sanjay Kumar Jha says, "The Farakka Treaty was signed in 1996, when the UPA government was in power, and Gujral was the Prime Minister, to allocate Ganga water from Farakka to Bangladesh. Consequently, there is a lack of water, especially in Bihar, during the lean season. Drinking water shortages have arisen across South Bihar, and the water table has dropped. Even in North Bihar, an area people usually associate with floods, places like Darbhanga and Madhubani face a scarcity of drinking water. The treaty is set to expire in 2026. We have urged the Government of India and specifically requested the Prime Minister not to renew this treaty. Renewing the Indo-Bangladesh Farakka Water Treaty is not in the national interest; it severely compromises Bihar's interests, and we are firmly opposed to it. Our plea is simply that the Farakka Water Treaty should not be renewed..."
