Formed under the Inter-State River Water Disputes Act of 1956 following old colonial agreements from 1892 and 1924 between Mysore and Madras.  \no Supreme Court Verdicts: The Supreme Court's landmark judgments on the Cauvery water sharing dispute, notably finalized in 2018, declared the river as a national asset,  \nmodified water allocations and directed the creation of the Cauvery Water Management Authority.  \no Cauvery River: Known as Ganga of the South. It rises at Talakaveri in the Brahmagiri Range of the Western Ghats (Kodagu district, Karnataka) . It flows for about  \n800 km in a southeasterly through Karnataka and Tamil Nadu (a small portion through Kerala as Kabani), ultimately emptying into the Bay of Bengal near Poompuhar.  \no Left Bank Tributaries: Harangi, Hemavati, Shimsha, Arkavati.  \no Right Bank Tributaries: Lakshmana Tirtha, Kabini, Suvarnavathi, Bhavani, Noyyal, Amaravati.  \no Key Dams: Krishna Raja Sagara (KRS) in Karnataka and Mettur Dam (Stanley Reservoir) in Tamil Nadu.  \no Mekedatu Project: Proposed by Karnataka across the Cauvery-river, within Karnataka’s territory, near Mekedatu in Ramanagara district. It is planned as a balancing reservoir to regulate Cauvery-river flows and improve water management.  \nStubble Burning  \nThe Commission for Air Quality Management in National Capital Region and adjoining areas has urged the state governments to adopt drone surveillance for effective monitoring of stubble burning.  \no Stubble Burning refers to the intentional burning of crop residue such as straw and stalks left after harvesting cereals like paddy and wheat using combine harvesters.  \no Reasons: Fastest, cheapest, and easiest way to clear agricultural fields between harvesting cycles.  \no Short Sowing Window: A narrow 15-to-20-day gap between harvesting paddy (rice) and planting wheat. Delaying wheat planting severely cuts down the overall crop yield.  \no High Machinery costs, labour shortage also adds to this.  \n30 July 2026  \no Impacts:  \no Air ","cbCaikNdVVagRoBx","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaikNdVVagRoBx","pdf",3806871,"English","# Cauvery Water Regulation Committee (CWRC)\n## Cauvery Water Management Authority (CWMA)\n## Inter-State River Water Disputes Act and Article 262\n## Cauvery River overview and key dams\n## Mekedatu project\n# Stubble Burning\n## Causes and short sowing window\n## Impacts and air pollution\n## Mitigation initiatives and schemes\n## Alternatives\n# First Information Report (FIR)","[{\"question\":\"What did the Cauvery Water Regulation Committee recommend on 30 July 2026?\",\"answer\":\"It recommended that Karnataka release 3,500 cusecs of water per day to Tamil Nadu for 15 days as monsoon water levels deplete.\"},{\"question\":\"What are the legal foundations of the Cauvery Water Management Authority?\",\"answer\":\"CWMA is a statutory, quasi-judicial body established under the Cauvery Water Management Scheme in June 2018, notified under Section 6A of the Inter-State River Water Disputes Act, 1956 to implement the Supreme Court verdict.\"},{\"question\":\"What is FIR and what must it contain?\",\"answer\":\"An FIR is a written police document prepared after receiving information about a cognizable offence.
