What happened
Karnataka has been directed to release Cauvery waters to Tamil Nadu for a period of 15 days.
Background and earlier position
The Cauvery water dispute between Karnataka and Tamil Nadu is managed through an ongoing dispute governance mechanism that uses periodic compliance instructions and monitoring rather than a single one-time settlement.
What changed now
The newly reported operational change is a time-bound requirement: Karnataka’s Cauvery water release to Tamil Nadu is set for a 15-day period within the broader dispute governance cycle.
