Mysuru: A colloquium on River Cauvery and its protection as one unit from the catchment in Kodagu to the confluence in Tamil Nadu was held yesterday at Karnataka Legislature House II in Bengaluru. The origins of the meeting were the Meet of Peninsular Rivers held in Chennai in November 2019 and the National Water Conference held at Ujjain in Madhya Pradesh in December 2019.
It was resolved in Ujjain to form a committee to decide on the inter-State peninsular rivers of Godavari, Krishna and Cauvery and to prepare a status report of each river and submit to respective State Governments and also to the Central Government to restore, rejuvenate and try to solve the riparian issues by mutual understanding through people-to-people co-operation.
