New Delhi: The Cauvery Water Disputes Tribunal on Monday announced its decision, allocating Tamil Nadu 419 thousand million cubic feet of water out of 740 tmcft available in the basin while Karnataka's share has been fixed at 270 tmcft.
However, the actual release by Karnataka to Tamil Nadu would be only 192 tmcft annually.
Welcoming the order, Tamil Nadu Chief Minsiter M Karunanidhi hoped that the Karnataka would implement the decision.
"We welcome the final order of the Tribunal," he said.
He said he had discussed the Cauvery water issue with 11 Chief Ministers in the past and only now a decision has been arrived at.
Talking about whether Tamil Nadu would file a review petition, the Chief Minister said he would consult lawyers, political parties and farmers on the issue.
