Description
Description | The Mekedatu reservoir is a proposed dam project by the Karnataka government. Tamil Nadu government opposes the project, citing concerns over farmers' interests and legal verdicts including the Supreme Court ruling and the Cauvery Water Disputes Tribunal Award. The Supreme Court rejected Tamil Nadu's challenge to the preparatory stage of the project as premature, allowing Tamil Nadu to present objections to the Cauvery Water Management Authority and the Central Water Commission. Tamil Nadu has consistently opposed the project and halted the Environmental Impact Assessment approval process initiated by Karnataka in 2020. |
