Tamil Nadu realised around 3.9 thousand million cubic feet (tmcft) of Cauvery water flowing from Karnataka in one week out of the stipulated 6.48 tmcft to be provided over 15 days.
The realisation was recorded from August 29 to September 4 as per the readings of the Central Water Commission (CWC) at its gauge and discharge (G&D) station in Biligundulu on the Tamil Nadu-Karnataka border. At its meeting conducted on August 29, the Cauvery Water Management Authority (CWMA) directed Karnataka to ensure that 5,000 cubic feet per second (cusecs) was available in Biligundulu for 15 days, starting that day. In other words, this would be equivalent to 6.48 tmcft.
