There is no denial of the hardships faced by Tamil Nadu farmers, but this story is incomplete. You can't tell the story of the Kaveri from one region, go to Karnataka and see the agrarian crisis over there, 3515 farmers have committed suicide from April 2013 to Nov 2017. If you have channel in Tamil i,e. BBC Tamil channel that does mean you to report the stories from that region itself, try report in a comprehensive way.

[@trustshankar]

True, it is not with TN alone. KA is also facing similar issues. I'm from a farming family in TN who like other Tamil farmers don't want to just take water from KA. I don't believe in surviving by killing someone. Instead of politicizing like Mr. Intelligent Srinivasan below. We should think for a long lasting solution that will benefit both the states.

[@Geekay_agr]

karnataka wants 50 tmc of water just for banglore apart from what they get for karnataka state. but in TN we have to fulfil the drinking water need for almost 20 districts incl the huge city like chennai with the meagre water karnataka gives.. apart from that we should do agriculture... karnataka politicians consciously converted huge acres into more agricultural lands over these yrs so that they can demand more water and do more politics with it.. many a times supreme court has given decisions in favour of TN's request. but karnataka govts have never bothered about it.. it has 2 built dams over the river wiithout the consent of TN, kerala, puducherry, Andhra or even the Central govts and is trying to build one more. It should atleast give the amount of water quoted in the judgement but it doesnt. It always says "when we dont have how can wwe give you".. it was never a matter of you have or not. its our right to get our share of water from kaveri.. your have 50 tmc then give us 25.. thats what we say... if you do that things will be even.. who is being unfair in this brother??

@mr gurukrishna, TN has got a higher portion of kaveri, Since the time of british raj. Now considering the population of bengaluru i.e. 1.5cr.. It is important that the metropolitan gets a larger share to fulfill the water demand. And i believe, that it is not very logical for 10 districts of karnataka and 20 districts of TN to depend solely on one water source. There r various options for both, Rain harvesting Desalination plants Fog/ breeze harvesting (which is done by african countries). And like wise strict water regulation policies. And establishment of Central Water Tribune.

Problem is not with Karnataka nor TN problem is with Cauvery because of irregular Rainy season, deforestation and incapable of storage of water. If Tamilnadu used their store their water sufficiently then they cannot blame Karnataka. When Karnataka released their flooded flow towards TN during rainy season then TN should be stored them carefully.

I am from the birth place of kaveri, which is coorg, and we dont use a drop of kaveri water and we are forbidden because we are one of the least populated district in india, only rain god protects us...coming to the story as river kaveri flows or travels around 800 kms and the dispute between TN and KA over kaveri water is now around 150 years..My dad is a farmer in coorg and he told in June itself that this year we will not have much rainfall because we could feel it in May and June...now both states first come to a conclusion and TN should sign a NOC to build a another dam near Mekedatu, which helps to store when there is flow and helps in this kind of situation...To be very honest Karnataka will face huge water deficit this year...as a natural phenomenon goddess kaveri has to flow to TN, but now in Karnataka we will be facing drinking water shortage, so its hard for us to leave water to TN, j kindly understand the situation..and watching this video as there is karnataka bandh tomorrow because of kaveri water dispute.
