History of the Cauvery Dispute

Tue, 07/01/2008 - 12:30 — bbalegere

The history of this conflict goes back to an agreement between Mysorestate and Madras state in 1892 when Mysore was a princely state and Madras was under British administration. Before this, from 1831 to 1881, the British controlled both Mysore and Madras. During their regime, numerous plans were drawn up for the utilization of the Kaveri waters by both states. However, the drought and subsequent famine in the mid 1870s put a hold on the implementation of these plans. The plans were revived by Mysore after the transfer of powers from British to the Mysore kings.
