The Cauvery Water Management Authority (CWMA) on August 25 upheld the Cauvery Water Regulation Committee's recommendation directing Karnataka to release 9,000 cusecs of water to Tamil Nadu for 15 days. Karnataka informed the Supreme Court of its compliance with this directive. The apex court asked Tamil Nadu to challenge the CWMA decision regarding the release of backlog water.
