Moving from paddy and sugarcane to less water-intensive crops such as oilseeds, pulses and millets can help resolve the Cauvery water dispute
Posted on 14 Jan, 2013 12:10 AMWhat happens when two or more states are dependent on same water resource for agricultural purposes ? Do the states compete for the resource or are their needs sufficiently different from each other? What are the consequences of the competition for this precious resource?
This article sheds light on the dispute between Karnataka and Tamil Nadu, for sharing Cauvery river water. The ongoing tussle between the two states has seen a lot of unrest amongst farmers in form of dharnas, protests, rail roko and non-cooperation by citizens, and disagreement with the agreements made by their respective governments and unending negotiations by governments involved, to come to a mutually agreeable decision.

Internship profile
Arghyam is looking for a Data and Research Intern for 3 months. Arghyam is embarking on several projects related to water data, specifically to do with groundwater and sanitation. One of the themes we want to explore under sanitation is its relationship with health. To do this, we want to identify relevant data sets from rural health and look for correlations between relevant health indicators and rural sanitation. Once we have this data and understand the correlations, we will also be working to make the data more accessible to different communities like designers, journalists and developers and WatSan professionals.
