I feel the review is pragmatic and good. But, will the idea behind the review solve the water crisis. I feel it will help in controlling the crisis but does not give solution to the problem. As Karnataka and Tamilnadu has increased their area of cultivation, both sides need water. The problem is both side is not ready to come down from their present stand.
They feel it will affect their political as well as personal pride. Karnataka wants to play it down and Tamilnadu wants to play it aggressively. Unless and until the sharing formula during distress is arrived which I feel is very difficult to solve the Kaveri issue.
It has become an emotional issue rather than practical one. It has become an political issue rather than realistic one. It has become pride issue rather than practical one.
Kaveri problem can have a permanent solution if and only if both sides understands the reality. With the political situation prevailing now I feel it is not in the near future.
