AREAS IDENTIFIED BY TS

As against claiming TS share of Krishna water at various dependabilities of 2,578 tmc ft (the quantum of water in the entire river), TS has to contest for a share of the 1,001 tmc ft allocated to undivided AP.

WHILE MAHARASHTRA and Karnataka will have en-bloc allocation and flexibility to use water as per their requirement, TS and AP will have only project-wise allocation.

THERE IS no provision for deficit sharing from Maharashtra and Karnataka. The yield generated in TS will form a part of operational protocol between TS and AP.

THE LIKELY conflict between Krishna Water Decision Implementation Board and Krishna River Management Board.

TRIBUNAL DID not recognise the fact that interests of Telangana region were not fairly represented by undivided AP.

THE TRIBUNAL held that there was no correlation between the primary reasons for TS statehood (inequitable and faulty allocation) and the Statement of Objects and Reasons of the AP Reorganisation Act, 2014.

TRIBUNAL HAS made a very narrow interpretation of Section 89. Projectwise allocation has to be made for projects earlier recognised by the Tribunal but are non-specific in nature.

THE TRIBUNAL IGNORED TS CONCERNS AND ALLOWED AP TO CARRY OVER STORAGE AND UTILISATION OF REMAINING WATER DURING LEAN YEARS.
