River Stories: Cauvery river - BBC News

- Опубліковано 8 жов 2024
- Cauvery river in south India has been at the centre of a long running water sharing dispute between two states Karnataka and Tamil Nadu.
The Cauvery originates in Karnataka and flows through Tamil Nadu before joining the Bay of Bengal. But water levels in Cauvery have been falling due to insufficient rainfall and this has aggravated the farm crisis in both the states.
BBC Tamil service along with popular Tamil You tuber ‘Nakkalites’ Chella travelled across the state of Tamil Nadu speaking to farmers, farm labourers and family of a farmer who killed himself to find out the intensity of the crisis.

This is story of one state . It's incomplete without showing Karnataka farmers' story where kaveri originates
Haha my name
Is kaveri
For many decades the river was flown through Tamilnadu , but Karnataka farmers were not facing any problem bcoz of that.. now suddenly it is a problem for Karnataka farmers? It's not their problem , it's because of the politicians arrogance and their dirty politics..

There is no denial of the hardships faced by Tamil Nadu farmers, but this story is incomplete.
You can't tell the story of the Kaveri from one region, go to Karnataka and see the agrarian crisis over there, 3515 farmers have committed suicide from April 2013 to Nov 2017. If you have channel in Tamil i,e. BBC Tamil channel that does mean you to report the stories from that region itself, try report in a comprehensive way.
True, it is not with TN alone. KA is also facing similar issues. I'm from a farming family in TN who like other Tamil farmers don't want to just take water from KA. I don't believe in surviving by killing someone. Instead of politicizing like Mr. Intelligent Srinivasan below. We should think for a long lasting solution that will benefit both the states. Long live farming and farmers of India
Well it's BBC, what else do you expect
I think BTV or TV9 which is a competitor for BBC can come up with a program from karnataka perspective. Why should we beg BBC to report karnataka?
@youcometome9 kannadigas must boycott BBC. We must trust BTV and suvarna instead. They are pro kannada channels

@@Arthur_Wayne will do, thanks professor squiggly lines.
Yes
@@Arthur_Wayne my apologies to you if my last comment offended you. It was meant as humor. If you are Tamil, I do respect your culture and the struggles your culture has gone through to keep it going. My hope is, like the Irish, and all humans, we can learn to laugh at ourselves as well.
@@jjbraddock2702 Haha I didnt mean that. You said 20 years AGO, that means it's past. So i asked you to check the grammar that's all
It have been good if Karnataka drought districts are covered.
People all over India consider rivers as godesses and even pray her. But they also remove the sand indiscriminately and choke it. We even cannot stand near any of the river banks in our cities due to pollution. People just shamelessly flow the untreated sewage into those rivers.
Your are right #VipinV
Ganga is changing and all other river Modi policy is doing its work we don't have enough money to do it in huge no.
The way to stop this draught is by stopping deforestation , taking sand from rivers, polluting the rivers.
Dear vipin, have heard about the Isha foundation cauvery calling initiative and sadhguru, s ralley for rivers? They are doing a great job

Heart touching.
As a 17 year old. I would really do something if I could.
I just wish these people make it in life. I thank them for the food that is delivered to me in my plate.
As 2 years senior to you, I advise you to not waste water, electricity and food. This will actually make some change rather than just showing sympathy and forgetting about it.
As 11 year senior, I'd advice not to waste time with BBC. We shouldn't igore them fully, nor take them seriously. Their primary motive is divide and rule.
Kaushik Sundarajayaraman Venkat As 5 year older than you, I am requesting you to visit this place and see the situation especially in summer.
Karen you can always find people near you to make a difference 😊 just look for them
Please make sure you harvest rain water at your home and your school/college. That will reduce the burden on using river water for urban population and farmer on both the states will duly get his water. Thanks
Unfortunately such serious issues are not discussed during elections.
Absolutely still people are buying it..
They not I should be on the moors right now but Oldham on youtube is important is it not my friend
My friend they r discussed tailor made only for political reasons.

All they care about is building temple's
You should have covered Karnataka side of story regarding Cauvery River.. It's incomplete!
So when TN people demand/fight for cauvery water they should understand plight of karnataka farmers too..
Just imagine water is originating in ur land and you don't have rights over it...
@Loke if we stop sending u water then u will get ur life 😂😂😂😂you people only concerned about ur farmers think about karnataka farmers too. how can we donate when we are insufficient
Same goes to u , think about Tamil farmers too... most cultivation is happening in Tamilnadu only,

I too wonder.. Friend. BBC is also among the " this is also like a yet another one " i.e. பத்தோடு பதினொன்று ..
அத்தோடு இதவும் ஒன்று..? நம்ப முடியவில்லை.
Why can't you show other face of river? Its used for drinking purpose and have other cities in Karnataka. Whether they are happy with this Water usage? Please see India as one country and make such Videos.
... Nee valanum nanga saganuma?.. Suyanalam ah irunda sethu dan povenga....savu
BBC has nowadays become British Barking Corporation. Don't take their videos seriously. They'll spread as much lies as they want and twist the facts to suit their leftist propaganda.
You are showing only one side of the story. Farmers living in Karnataka are just as suffering as these Farmers. There's no water in kaveri river. We have not grown a proper crop since 6 years. Even if we try to grow anything the crops die because there's no water in lakes, rivers and there's no rain. All the lakes are dried up. There's no water even in the borewells for drinking and for cattles.
Karnataka is expanding its irrigation lands.. Diverting the water to new lands.. Building new canals.. U r increasing your need..
We just ask for our existing lands..
@@rasigan46 from KRS more water given to TN by this Karnataka loosing it's existing land

Tamil Nadu is the heart of rice production. I am in Canada now, but still have faith to cultivate, I wish to continue in my grandma`s footsteps! This is my dream to cultivate crops wherever I am. I hope there will be many more tamilians like me who would be interested in cultivating crops!
Exactly
U r truly a patron of the land :)
yes
Mohan ram plz go ahead without hesitation. Do organic farming .
And Tanjore is known as rice bowl of india
There is no water for our farmers govt can’t do anything and we people are also fighting in name of religions and caste...brothers we all should commonly fight for our farmers
I am city person, who is born and grown in city but in my work course when I entered village for first time I almost got tears seeing our farmers working hard for food...I request all to take our future generations to fields and let them know the value of farming and farmers
Government can do anything, they just think about next 2-3 year. Indian government dont plan ahead for next 30-50 years
Sorry is it not called Kavari
government and farmers both r responsible for water shortage they are still using old method for farming wasting lot of waters and not using the modern way to store rain water and same the government is no educating nd providing them resources.
Mohammad Sadiq
Why people are cultivating Paddy
It requires 150 Cm of water 💧?
Instead they may go for alternative, why I am saying means
Large producer of paddy is West Bengal and Bihar.
They have 2 perrienial river so they can do farming throughout the year. But they will not get much price for their crops because of over production.
Now a days many alternative are there like drip , sprinkler irrigation system .
Don’t simply blame others ( government) we are only government.
Mohammed siddiq I'm gonna land up in organic farming in future 🙂
Only nature to answer.Destroy forest ,river sand, deforestation etc responsible.Too much greedy of human beings is responsible.
Was it so difficult to travel few hundred kilometers and see what the other side looks like? Is this journalism ? So amateur
If need to cover the other side, following need to be shown and video will be boring. 30% of forest near the river is destroyed in kudagu region for urbanization. Trees/forest are needed by the river to thrive. River half killed at the birth. 80+ industries in Nanjangud (near Mysore) dump untreated sewage chemicals in to mother cauvery. The river also receives untreated sewage in Mandya from paper mills and fertiliser manufacturing units. Bangalore, one of the major cities on the Cauvery’s banks is disposing 300,000,000 (30 crores) litres the river PER DAY. Remaining river killed at this point. Urban people don't like accusing them. Please start growing trees, stop polluting, start caring the river and stop the politics.
@@karthikx this is what happening around the world not only to Kaveri, we do care her
Yes, the same situation been facing in Karnataka, particularly cauvery belt region chamraja nagar, they are face huge disaster to drinking water also.
People from Tamilnadu and Karnataka have to come across a solution to cauvery dispute. Indian government should take a fair decision.
karnataka wants 50 tmc of water just for banglore apart from what they get for karnataka state. but in TN we have to fulfil the drinking water need for almost 20 districts incl the huge city like chennai with the meagre water karnataka gives.. apart from that we should do agriculture... karnataka politicians consciously converted huge acres into more agricultural lands over these yrs so that they can demand more water and do more politics with it.. many a times supreme court has given decisions in favour of TN's request. but karnataka govts have never bothered about it.. it has 2 built dams over the river wiithout the consent of TN, kerala, puducherry, Andhra or even the Central govts and is trying to build one more. It should atleast give the amount of water quoted in the judgement but it doesnt. It always says "when we dont have how can wwe give you".. it was never a matter of you have or not. its our right to get our share of water from kaveri.. your have 50 tmc then give us 25.. thats what we say... if you do that things will be even.. who is being unfair in this brother?? Just think of it!
@@Geekay_agr Also I think TN ppl should focus on water conservation... Every year we have excess rain especially in coastal areas and the water is runn off to Sea without holding it.
@mr gurukrishna,
TN has got a higher portion of kaveri, Since the time of british raj.
Now considering the population of bengaluru i.e. 1.5cr.. It is important that the metropolitan gets a larger share to fulfill the water demand.
And i believe, that it is not very logical for 10 districts of karnataka and 20 districts of TN to depend solely on one water source.
There r various options for both,
Rain harvesting
Desalination plants
Fog/ breeze harvesting (which is done by african countries).
And like wise strict water regulation policies.
And establishment of Central Water Tribune.
@@rawat2608 after 2015 floods TN hardly got any rainfall.. what do we hold then?? we have nothing to let it go to the sea.. and even if the water gushes throughout kaveri basin It should go to the sea.. it should merge.. man is no one to stop it going to the sea.. if he does he is gonna suffer ultimately..
@@nishchithmoode7027 blore is 1.5 cr population its all fine.. but what is chennai??? it is a 1 cr population.. that isnt a huge difference.. if you can demand 50 tmc just for blore why cant TN demand atleast a 40 tmc just for chennai apart from what we demand for the rest of the state ,considering its METROPOLITAN population???? and all the sciences you speak.. we also know those.. but what is immediate remedy is kaveri.. and even if we get those solutions we ll still demand kaveri water.. coz as i said before.. its our right to get our due share from kaveri..
So ever thought of considering karnataka farmers' perspective?
It is BBC... know for it's biased news..
Oh? Coz u ignore this!!?
Tv9 or suvarna which is competitor for BBC can prepare a report from karnataka perspective!! We should we kannadigas beg BBC .
In fact suvarna is competitor for BBC , BTV is competitor for fox news!!
@Sachinraddy Bappasai by the way your comment doesn't make sense, we have seen how tolerant kannadigas are, and i born and bought up in coastal Karnataka and i know how it feels to be one of your own. So, before commenting do sone fact check.
Sand maffiya destroyed cauvari river
Its the TN government who runs that shit. Why do you think the police dont stop them :D
#deforestation by urban mafia, #pollution by industrial mafia at the birth place of the river made the river go dry. Dry river enabled easy access for #sand mafia.
@@karthikx correct bro
Exactly south india epically tamil nadu is one of the largest exporter of river sand
Govt and people getting sand from this mafia so there is no hope

River Ganga .... done
River Godavari.... Done
River Cauvery done....
.
Please cover all rivers...UPSC syllabus wise
This is a water deficit river..... this program doesn't speak of any stats ..... Nothing about it's catchment area, dam, urban requirement, industries and agricultural needs and patterns.... It has BBC sticker with very little information.....
And also they completely ignored the Karnataka farmers.
And also could not try to putforth a solution. Nowadays many people who worked or works came forward to agriculture and they r succeeding also with an innovative ideas and work culture. Why the old generation farmers could encourage these guys ??
Can't the BBC ever make a fair story, why are you not focussing on the facts, this is a river that origintes in Karnataka and you did not even mention it
So what? Let it originate from karnataka. It doesnt mean that it is owned by KA
For showing the damage done to Cauvery at Karnataka, we need to make longer video.
We are getting enough rain in the western ghats of Karnataka. 30% of forest near the river is destroyed (#deforestation) in kudagu hill region for urbanization. Trees are needed by the river to thrive. River is half killed at this point. 80+ industries in Nanjangud (near Mysore) dump untreated sewage chemicals in to mother cauvery. The river also receives untreated sewage in Mandya from paper mills and fertiliser manufacturing units. Bangalore, one of the major cities on the Cauvery’s banks is disposing 300,000,000 (30 crores) litres in the river PER DAY. Rest of the river is killed at this point. Please start growing trees, stop polluting, start caring the river and stop the politics.
Title wrong.. he is not speaking about cauvery river..... it should be " Farmer's Misery"
Farmer's Misery is due to Cauvery issue. Don't you get it
யாராவது கருத்துக்களை தமிழ்ல எழுதி இருக்கீங்களா?
No one has the right to stop the river. Period ! No one can talk beyond this. If suffering exists, it has to be on both sides equally !
The mysore kings sold their own gold to construct dam and to provide water to the local people. If water would be sufficient for two states then it would be provided. If tamil nadu has scarcity that means even Karnataka has scarce water.
Reporting should be both sides, not just Tamilnadu please include karnataka too.
Yeah
@Aralàn maybe Karnataka has water only for it's usage? Traditionally cauvery flowed 365 days of the year at a full flow, the water problem is very recent. Karnataka cannot capture an entire river and store the water in some secret facility. In rainy seasons the water does flow anyway. We can't blame Karnataka for our limited understanding of dynamics of rivers. It's time to approach the problem at a different angle and look at the root cause of the problem. And sorry I think corporate argument is very fair and well for Murugadoss film logic but in reality it doesn't work like that.
@Aralàn I'm seeing the world politics, just not with a torch light. By don't comment you mean don't break your shell and expose you to reality?
@Aralàn well what do you want then? Let me order one Hitler like dictator to rule the entire world? No politics and job well done?
@Aralàn bullshit conspiracy theories. You have no proof about anything you just said.
Always blaming some "Corporates" for your water mismanagement.
There are countries thriving in desserts ffs. Learn to take responsibility instead of blaming imaginary entities.
Just one sided story. Even farmers in Karnataka commit suicide. They dont want to talk about it. Nobody has right to anything. They need to work hard with what ever they have. Nobody wants hard solution and they want to depend on politicians on everything.
Is it go and read about how we received water from Karnataka how much you had and the time of water received then you will come to know is it one side story are not and don't see Karnataka news channel go for government records
Because I have seen some of the news in that they literally lie
(Ex:when mettur dam low on it capacity (which means it will not provide drinking water for TN the news channel report it as Tamil Nadu has water and they are lieing while showing the dam )
We don't want depend on political parties go and check court judgement
@@subramanianduraisamy3642 Even supreme in India is highly political. When ever BJP govt in state they have non-bjp govt in centre and when non-bjp govt in state its bjp in centre. TN govt has been able to exploit this for a very long time. TN govt goes and files cases in Supreme court when judges are favorable to them. Go and ask any supreme court lawyer.
@@oldmansgoldenwords go and check government records or ask your real formers then speak don't come up with stupid political parties words or your fake media
I have lived in Karnataka for more than 10 year and I do know Kannada I used to see your so called fake media
@@oldmansgoldenwords when I say government record don't come again with half truth documents which is produced in the court last time check dam report like what is dam capacity , how much it had how is given to TN then how much taken back to Karnataka for KGF
Is it the story of cauvery or tamilians? Why didn't you cover the story of karnataka farmers? we respect every farmer as we expect you to do....
Farmers all around the country are in distress
Do you guys realize what is basic rules or sense, you should take look at history, 30y4s ago karnataka ppl was consumed less water capacity. Now it increased 15 time. If the river start from one place it doesn't mean they can consume full amt. You guys are increased the agriculture land around this river only. Tell me is this right
@@sureshmahadev9793 Not agriculture land..its because of Bangalore...due to fast growth of Bangalore and urbanisation... more water is consumed ...
Yes, karnataka farmers are also in distress. No denying that, and the program failed to highlight that. The program also failed to highlight the following
1. Usage of scarce cauvery water in Bangalore for local use - bathing, washing cars and even in toilets.
2. Crazy sand stealing in TN along cauvery
3. Failure of TN to revive local ponds and lakes.
4. Completely irresponsible Bangalore citizens on not implementing rain water harvesting. By doing that, they will help farmers on both the sides.
6. Lakes of Bangalore being turned into sewage hence increasing the need to use cauvery water instead.
If we want to help farmer, be it in KA or TN, let's start doing our bit first.
Thanks for reading
Watch it in BBC Kannada please.

Think about it seriously BBC....
This is very unfortunate. Poor people are caught in between political turmoil. The BBC has made an exceptional video on this regard but it failed to say the other side of the story. Though they did not openly mention it clearly implied that it is because of Karnataka that they are facing this problem and Karnataka is enjoying the resources which belong to them. Unfortunately, people of Karnataka too face this problem or a more severe version of it. They do not even have proper water to drink forget about cultivating crops.
TN idiots over water all their crops meant for drinking for half of Karnataka. That is the problem. Your politicians are busy blaming Karnataka politicians while your actors are trying to enter politics through stupid movies with worst dialogues. All this propaganda is hurting the common people of TN and Karnataka.
Just support the moment "Cavery Calling" by Sadhguru then it will be ok.
Rally for rivers is a solution and second the population must be checked. If it increases at the alarming rate no rally will save the river.
What about the story of kannadiga farmers of the state of Karnataka where the river is born??

Appreciate the effort to cover stories on river. But this video has not uncovered the truth, Kaveri(Cauvery) origin is in Karnataka. Story should begin from there. Otherwise it just becomes another propaganda video. Kudos to camera work

Where's the story about our river kaveri?? How and where she flows??? It's hard for us in Karnataka and do u know anything about that hardships??? V can gv when we have right....
Thamizh Nadu, the oldest civilization of the earth is gonna miss its own Cauvery soon 😫😫😫
It flows from Karnataka to Tamil Nadu. Kaveri births in Karnataka. It's not ur tamils own Kaveri. It belongs to every people who's dependent on Kaveri. Stop bullshit Tamil regionalism.
@@srakeshgowda lol kaveri covers most of its part in tamilnadu not karanataka...then make kaveri to drain in Arabian sea ..dare u ? Or u can?

I am from the birth place of kaveri, which is coorg, and we dont use a drop of kaveri water and we are forbidden because we are one of the least populated district in india, only rain god protects us...coming to the story as river kaveri flows or travels around 800 kms and the dispute between TN and KA over kaveri water is now around 150 years..My dad is a farmer in coorg and he told in June itself that this year we will not have much rainfall because we could feel it in May and June...now both states first come to a conclusion and TN should sign a NOC to build a another dam near Mekedatu, which helps to store when there is flow and helps in this kind of situation...To be very honest Karnataka will face huge water deficit this year...as a natural phenomenon goddess kaveri has to flow to TN, but now in Karnataka we will be facing drinking water shortage, so its hard for us to leave water to TN, j kindly understand the situation..and watching this video as there is karnataka bandh tomorrow because of kaveri water dispute.
Well we have people like Sadhguru taking initiatives to protect Cauvery. Lets all join hands to this wonderful initiative.
Let Sadhguru practice what he preaches and remove the electric fencing and demolish the buildings he has constructed in elephant territory in Tamilnadu and do reforestation and dig ponds and lakes in the elephant territory and hand over the elephant territory back to the elephants with Sadhguru's blessings.

Politicians are distracting us from main problem of India and try to indulge us in relegions issues. Plz don't get in their traps. Show them real issues and proud that my Punjab starts revolution against worst politicians.
Problem is not with Karnataka nor TN problem is with Cauvery because of irregular Rainy season, deforestation and incapable of storage of water. If Tamilnadu used their store their water sufficiently then they cannot blame Karnataka. When Karnataka released their flooded flow towards TN during rainy season then TN should be stored them carefully.

So no mention of Karnataka where the river originates and travels for 250 kms before entering Tamil Nadu ?
The camera work is fantastic 👌
You should have named this series 'Biased River Stories',you're portraying it as if Karnataka has abundant water but won't give it to Tamil Nadu, no wonder you didn't shoot in Karnataka because if you did so your utterly biased propaganda would be exposed seeing the real situation here
We can resolve this issue by uniting as Indians and come together to pray and protect one god that is mother nature, I have planted close to 25 trees and took care till it became big i think all you must plant one tree and help it grow for atleast a year and then you can see the magic for the rest of the years
300,000 farmers were commited suicide for the last 25 years is a shocking news!! Still not a single party highlighted the issue in national level.
What do u think got highlighted for decades and why do u think loan waiver came about (to fill politicians pockets along the process)? The problem is not even half of them actually committed suicide cuz of loans. They had other problems along with them as well.
Incomplete story.. You should cover karnataka side story also.. Namge neerilla guru nimgellinda kodbeku
Water distribution problem is every where even in distribution between two Land also in same village. This problem will exists till the business poltics in India.
🙏One side wants our petrol, methane under cauvery delta another one side theft River sand, No one wants us to agriculture.
Some other insist us to yield cotton, Use sea water for agriculture. Sir one question why do we change us sir. Coming days agricultural land is decreasing at tamilnadu quickly, in very short if both States are not involved in water management,,, both we are going to lose that lost might unimaginable drought, food famine,
Perfect timing
i am really thanks for this video..
Omg ...tearfully worry about my country. We need to be vigil now. Without farmers there is no future for the country and it's people. Immediately they need support from government and other sections of society.
Excellent work by BBC. Camera men did a great job.
None of us should judge or conclude by hearing one side of the story.. Please research completely before you publish.
கல்லு போலத் மனசு.. ஆனா காவேரி அன்னையின் கரையோர வெடிப்பு நிலத்தை காட்டி கலங்க வச்சுடீங்களே.. 😐😐
(Drought broken landscape brings tears even to stubborn ones..)
Same is the plight of famers of Karnataka. We only hope every year it will rain good enough in catchment area so that water is released first to TN and then we can use the rest. Even Bangalore depends upon Cauvery water for drinking. What can humans do during draught year? who can win over nature? Only construction of dummy reservoir at Mekedatu can solve the problem of water crisis during draught.
comment section is treasure trove, brimming with intellectual people suggesting ways to find solutions to the concerned problem...of course there is some exceptions...concerned authority shld look into these suggestions and shld take necessary actions...
Like Oldham my friend Yes I should be on the moors right now but Oldham on youtube is important is it not
The fact is the carvery river is clean and has potential to support farming activities throughout the south.....
I heard that Kauvery is contaminated with pharmaceuticals and other effluents . May be we should try to dig lakes and ponds to store rain water and do reforestation to retain and increase ground water and also protect elephants which are called eco engineers and tigers which regulate water bodies and other wild life which maintain the ecosystem.
agrarian crisis is faced by many states in our country, not only in tamil nadu. This is due to lack of water in our country as a whole.
But dmk is diverting the problem towards bjp in Tamil nadu.
Definitely water is very important for agriculture but there are many people who don't get water to drink.
Great broadcast
Thanks #bbc for focusing on a issue that was left unnoticed even by our local,regional and national media
River Kaveri is always belongs to karnataka and its Karnataka's pride.
@@BMEPssaran bro saran nobody is cruel here. I am from a pure farmer family . Pakka local kannadiga, see please understand we both are one and the same brotherhood son of our own land.
Kaveri river origintes from karnataka kodagu district Thala-kaveri and flows through several parts of karnataka and tamilnadu . But the farmers here in karnataka have no access to our own river in many south districts such as kolar, chickballapur, bengaluru rural, here also farmers are dying. Lot of farmer community such as vokkaliga, gowda are prominent in farming they are selling their own land coz of scarcity of water.
Ok keep all this aside our fate .
But this particular video should ve mentioned atleast the name origin karnataka and flows through Tamilnadu. Why is cruel politics here 😡.
@@BMEPssaran i abject you, we will never stop saying our natural resources available in my own land as ours. Untill river kaveri is in karnataka it is ours and karnataka's only. There may be a future kaveri river is far from ur reach but kaveri never perish until life of sun and moon on this earth.
@@BMEPssaran hahha cruel people ha,? Do u Kno what karnataka means ? Karunaadu.. karune .. our state name itself land of courtesy humanity ... Lol u.
@@BMEPssaran growup kiddo
Ever year, monsoon pattern is changing due to global warming and destruction of green cover and this leads to scanty rainfall. In future, cauvery water may not be sufficient to state of Karnataka itself and this may lead to hardships to the farmers of Thanjavur belt of Tamil nadu which is nicknamed as the rice bowl of southern India.
Beautiful visuals with lot of pains.
This documentary is so one sided towards the people of Tamil nadu.. Even Karnataka farmers face the same issue.. Also People in bangalore depend on cauvery for drinking water purpose. Water for human survival takes precedence over water for a farmer growing crops for commercial purpose period.
Really ... you made a good way of sorting out issues to the world
Yes it's concentrated only on cinmetography not kavery issue.
Worst documentary.
India's population in 1960 was 45 crores today after nearly 60 years population is three times . Also common indian lifstyle has changed with higher consumption of water for sugar alchol, soft drinks , fried snacks ( veg oil) non veg etc . Industrial use also high
Cauvery belongs to karnataka.
After we get water for drinking
then TN can have it for farming .
No rivers are belongs to states. They are national property
Balaji S few things are just nice to say
and what you tell is one among such things😂
@@rakshi_gowda u don't have proper reply. No wonder about ur reply
Balaji S You dont get english do you?
@@rakshi_gowda you guys have nice sense of humour, but don't hide the main issue behind that
It's unfair there r farmers in Karnataka too it's more heart felting if u hear their story
No you don't have this much issue like tn farmers
Thanks BBC
Dislike pannavanga soru thana thinpanga? Illa malamah?
Good to hear it Tamil
There's no denying that our Farmers are facing so much hardships and thanks to BBC for showing the reality. At the same time, there are also a lot of NGOs providing workable solutions for the farmers welfare which is quite practically working out. I request big medias like BBC to spread the news about genuine NGOs so that it reaches the needy farmers🙏
Problems are always there, but solutions are there too✌️
This is one sided review have u seen in Karnataka....more farmers have committed sucide because of it...My native region is mandya....this year during the beginning of the summer itself water has dried out.....and this water is used for drinking purpose for our major city. Bangalore...if there is no water in KRS dam...how can they release water...they are supplying the water required to you....but the River bed width is high...and majority of it. Is being evaporated due to heat... let's stop fighting ....and pray that this time sufficient rain occurs ..so both side farmers are happy.....Jai Hind Jai Karnataka
Bro, we are getting enough rain. 30% of forest near the river is destroyed in kudagu region for urbanization. 80+ industries in Nanjangud dump untreated sewage in to mother cauvery. The river also receives untreated sewage in Mandya from paper mills and fertiliser manufacturing units. Bangalore, one of the major cities on the Cauvery’s banks is disposing 300,000,000 (30 crores) litres the river PER DAY. Please start caring the river and stop the politics.
