- The Cauvery Water Management Authority (CWMA) upheld the Cauvery Water Regulation Committee (CWRC) order directing Karnataka to release Cauvery water to Tamil Nadu.
- Karnataka has been directed to release 3,500 cusecs of water per day for 15 days from 29 July 2026.
- Karnataka appealed against the order, citing drought, low reservoir inflows, and concerns over drinking water needs.
- Tamil Nadu requested a higher release of 7,000 cusecs per day, citing severe water shortage in the Cauvery delta.
- The CWMA stated that improved inflows into Karnataka's reservoirs would allow the release without affecting its drinking water requirements.
