	CAUVERY - LoveToKnow Article on CAUVERY (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		In Mysore state the Cauvery forms the two islands of Seringapatam and Sivasamudram, which vie in sanctity with the island of Seringarn lower down in Trichinopoly district.
		The Cauvery is known to devout Hindus as Dakshini Ganga, or the Ganges of the south, and the whole of its course is holy ground.
		Hence it is that even the holy Ganges resorts underground once in the year to the source of the Cauvery, to purge herself from the pollution contracted from the crowd of sinners who have bathed in her waters.

	Cauvery.com - Hogenakal Falls - Healthy Mist...
		The broad stream of the River Cauvery gets forked at this point, forming an island from where one stream continues on while it plunges into a deep chasm to create one of the loveliest waterfall gives these rocks the name.
		The Cauvery river, here, flows through a wooded valley, splitting and merging and splitting again around rocks, and little islands with towering trees, and boulder-strewn outcrops which are covered only when the river is in spate with the rains of the monsoon.
		Since the waters of the Cauvery flow through a forest of herbs on their journey to Hogenakal, bathing in these falls is considered to be good for health.

	Percentage-sharing Key to Cauvery dispute (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		If the ‘Cauvery water dispute’ is to be amicably solved, and such a solution is to be implemented on the ground, there is now a need to involve a third party — the Centre in this case — as the non-partisan ‘implementing authority’, or ‘enforcing authority’.
		It could comprise three major components, in the light of the established fact that the Cauvery Tribunal, appointed under the law and approved by the Apex Court, had long since passed an interim award, granting 205 tmcft of waters for Tamil Nadu, of which 5 tmc ft should go to Kerala.
		Given the fact that the interim award has been followed more in breach than otherwise, and also given the reality of rain-deficient years, the Cauvery Tribunal culd fix a ratio or percentage-hare of available waters, as against a quantum-share, as was the case with the interim award.

	rediff.com: Delayed monsoon rekindles Cauvery row
		As per the recommendation of a judicial tribunal appointed by the Centre under the Inter-State River Water Disputes Act, Karnataka has to release 205 TMC of Cauvery waters annually to Tamil Nadu (and 5 TMC each for Kerala and Pondicherry) and it is the task of the Cauvery Water Authority to ensure compliance.
		The CWA was formed in 1996 on the advice of the Supreme Court, after the previous Jayalalithaa government sought directions to the Centre on implementation of the interim award of the judicial tribunal.
		As a result, the Mettur reservoir, which receives the Cauvery waters from Karnataka, is running dry for the first time in a decade forcing the Tamil Nadu government to give up all hopes of releasing water for farmers in Thanjavur on June 12, the usual date.

	The Hindu : Front Page : `Cauvery Pushkaram' at Srirangam from Sept. 28
		Elaborate arrangements have been made for the festival, which the organisers consider as `Cauvery Kumbh Mela', akin to the festivals held for perennial rivers in other parts of the country.
		Though the festival is popular in north India and Andhra Pradesh, special arrangements for the Cauvery Pushkaram were made only in 1981, when Parasara Sudarasana Bhattar Swamy, Sthalathar of Sri Ranganathaswamy Temple, initiated the measures for popularising the significance of the `Pushkaram'.
		A special committee, `Cauvery Pushkar Bhrama Yagna Committee', led by V. Venkataraman, has been formed for the current festival, says Parasara Lakshmi Narasimha Bhattar, Sthalathar of the temple, who is the secretary of the committee.

		Though short, compared to the other sacred rivers of India, the Cauvery is undoubtedly the most queenly in her cultural journey from Karnataka to Tamil Nadu.
		The Ganga of the north seems tired in comparison to the flow of her southern understudy and here the brilliant culture of the South continues to flourish while in the Cow Belt, a golden past has to be dredged up to compensate for the death of any current civic graces.
		The Cauvery also has some suspicious priestly activity at the annual birth ceremony of the river and this is why strict geographical attribution of the source may not coincide with the wiles of the self-appointed custodians.

		Hence Tamil Nadu was not getting its due share of water from Karnataka as per the interim award of Cauvery Water Disputes Tribunal, she said and added that Karnataka was using the monsoon failure only as an excuse for the shortage.
		Referring to Krishna's statement that low water level in Krishnarajasagar dam was preventing that state from releasing water, she termed the statement as "unreasonable".
