Amaravati (Andhra Pradesh): Here is a solution at sight for the decades-long vexed Cauvery River Water Dispute between Karnataka and Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Pondicherry. The Centre will soon take up a major project to link Cauvery in Karnataka and Godavari in Andhra Pradesh that will put an end to the imbroglio.
Making an announcement at Amaravati in Andhra Pradesh yesterday, Union Water Resources Minister Nitin Gadkari said that every year, about 1,100 tmcft (thousand million cubic feet) of Godavari water is going waste into the Bay of Bengal while there is a dispute between Tamil Nadu and Karnataka. So, we have taken the decision to take Godavari water to Tamil Nadu and that will resolve all water issues among four States, Gadkari noted.
