- This year’s southwest monsoon has smashed all previous records in the realisation of Cauvery water by Tamil Nadu.
- The total realisation is likely to cross the 500 tmc ft mark by May 2023.
- It was declared by the Central Water Commission (CWC).
- Only the CWC’s calculations are considered because the reference point for measurement is the Biligundulu station, which is being maintained by the agency.
- Since 1974-75, the highest annual realisation was 455.4 tmc ft in 1975-76.
- It is the period of which was taken into account by the Supreme Court-constituted high-level technical team in 2016.
- The total approximate amount of realisation for 1978-79 was 400.6 tmc ft; 1980-81-442.9 tmc ft; 1981-82-417 tmc ft; and 2018-19-405.4 tmc ft.
- In the present year, the aggregate realisation crossed the 450-tmc ft mark in just four months.
- In those four years, southwest monsoon yielded approximately 291 tmc ft, 342 tmc ft, 299 tmc ft and 345 tmc ft respectively.
