Tamil Nadu to release Mettur Dam water for Delta irrigation from September 1
Tamil Nadu will release Mettur Dam water for 45 days starting September 1. This decision considers drinking and irrigation needs despite monsoon rainfall shortages. The Supreme Court directed Tamil Nadu to approach the Cauvery Water Management Authority. Karnataka has reportedly released water as directed by the authority previously. The court will next hear the Cauvery water sharing dispute on August 31.
