Mr @Udhaystalin,
I have not made any kind of statement that Karnataka would not release water to Tamil Nadu.
Karnataka’s inability to release water is dictated by negligible flows into Four Karnataka reservoirs namely KRS, Kabini, Harangi and Hemavathy and insufficient storages in these reservoirs.
Cauvery Water Management Authority (CWMA) is the competent Authority for taking decision on the release of water from Karnataka Reservoirs based on the recommendations of Cauvery Water Regulatory Committee (CWRC) and Government of Karnataka has no role in this issue.
The Cumulative Live Storage (MDDL) in Four reservoirs of Karnataka as on 30th June 2026 was 15.761 TMC, which is insufficient for Drinking water needs of the state for next three months.
The cumulative inflows into the into four reservoirs, till the CWRC meeting on 30.06.2026, was 4.05 TMC (Biligundlu 2.915 TMC).
Karnataka submitted in the meetings of CWRC on 16.06.2026 and 30.06.2026, CWMA meeting on 23.06.2026 the storage in the four reservoirs will have to be conserved for meeting the drinking water needs to Bengaluru Metropolitan region, Mysuru, Mandya, Chamarajanagar, Ramanagar and other cities.
The submissions of Karnataka in the meetings have been considered by the CWMA and CWRC and decisions were rendered as:
https://t.co/BUmL2RcrnU view of the grim situation in the Cauvery basin, as of now, and the basin being a deficit basin, the respective Party States need to conserve the water to the extent possible in their designated reservoirs by making the most judicious use of the available scarce water resources.
2. Priority may be given to meet the requirements for drinking water and environmental flows.
Since mid of May, the IMD has been publicising in various News Dailies that El-Nino Phenomenon has set in resulting in delayed monsoon and deficit rainfall.
I hope that the South-West monsoon will pick up in the coming days and sufficient flows would be available in Karnataka and Tamil Nadu reservoirs.

@kalkur_vivek@naveenmzs@NammaBengaluroo@WFRising@RLR_BTM The Ejipura flyover is not a useless project. Although work was delayed due to a lack of funds during the BJP's tenure, 70% of the project is now complete.
Get facts right before commenting blindly.
Requesting @RahulGandhi ji to review the ground realities of Bengaluru.
Sri Ramalinga Reddy (@RLR_BTM) understands this city like no one else.
For the future of Namma #Bengaluru, consider him for the Bengaluru Development portfolio.
It’s still not too late!

Sri @RahulGandhi needs to intervene personally instead of relying on flawed advice from party incharges. If the Congress leadership continues to sideline a senior minister like Sri @RLR_BTM (#RamalingaReddy), they are on a fast track to losing Bengaluru.
