The Supreme Court on September 21 refused to intervene in the Cauvery water dispute between Karnataka and Tamil Nadu, and said both CWMA and CWRC are regularly meeting and monitoring the water requirements every 15 days.

Tamil Nadu had sought for more than 5000 cusecs of water every day while Karnataka had complained that this was too much a burden considering the distress in the Cauvery basin.

The Karnataka government on Wednesday moved the Supreme Court for a direction to the Cauvery Water Management Authority (CWMA) to reconsider its September 18 decision to ensure a flow of 5,000 cusecs of river water to Tamil Nadu till September 29.
