Mekedatu Dam  

Chief Minister K Palaniswami opposed the committee for including Karnataka's proposal for grant of fresh terms of reference to the Mekedatu Balancing Reservoir and Drinking Water Project in its meeting.
 

Tamil Nadu had appealed to the Supreme Court against the Mekedatu project as it claimed the project will disrupt the supply of River Cauvery water. However, Karnataka has promised to release the amount of water as directed by the Supreme Court

 

Members of Parliament from Karnataka staged a protest in front of the Mahatma Gandi statue in the Parliament complex on Thursday morning demanding the implementation of Mekadatu Dam project.
 

Karnataka is pushing for Mekedatu dam on Cauvery River and it is said that the water flowing back into the sea can be stored in this dam and used when there is less rain. But Tamil Nadu is not happy  with the construction of Mekedatu dam.
