Kaveri Amma

I actually posted this on FB first.. but bah! no reason not to copy paste.. plus i can add more pictures here :D yay!

Considering only the monsoon season, the chart above shows, Karnataka gets 75% of its rains in the SW monsoon in the period of Jun-Sep, and the remaining in the NE monsoon in the period of Oct-Dec.

In case of TN, 40% rains are received in the SW monsoon and the remaining in the NE monsoon.

The problem that occurred this year was that the rain gods failed to show up. The SW monsoon disappointed all and there were severe water shortage in all parts of the country. 

Scenario in September.

TN asks KA to release more Kaveri water and accuses KA of being illegal and inhuman.

You’ve seen the stats.

TN gets its major chunk of rains after Sep. KA hardly gets any rains after SEP, and this year especially there was a draught declared in close to 16 districts.

It’s true that SW monsoon has been a failure even in TN. But there is still hope for them in the NE monsoon, but for KA; NE monsoon doesn’t promise much, and in this situation where there won’t be much rain from now on, is it really wise to release KA’s only source of water?? Will TN give back kaveri water when they have rains in Nov? or does KA suffer from draught all over again in the winter?? Please think. 

ok so thats all the things i posted on fb.. now a few more things I had worked out but couldnt get it on fb.. think on these too..

The biggest argument of TN is that Karnataka receives more rains than TN.. well sure the total average might be more.. but theres more to it.. the malnadu regions get thousands of mm of rains per year.. but the bayaluseeme plus north karnataka is as bad as a desert.. 

secondly.. tn uses more Kaveri water than its a reason for.. all the tributaries and the rain thats the reason to fill up the Kaveri is used by tn.. and yeah.. there are hardly any addition to the kaveri from any rivulets in tn.. 

well... before i go over board.. lemme hand the staff to a better person who knows better to explain this...

just follow this link... 

Some guy who knows more than me
