Explanation

The Cauvery (Kaveri) river water dispute is primarily between Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. The dispute dates back to agreements made in 1892 and 1924 between the Madras Presidency and Mysore princely state. Tamil Nadu claims historical rights to the water for its delta agriculture, while Karnataka argues it needs more water for its growing cities and farms. The dispute has seen ongoing legal battles including Supreme Court interventions.
