Tracing the Life Cycle of Water Conflict News Coverage: A Case study of Cauvery River Tribunal Final Verdict

Abstract

Following the expiry of the 1924 agreement, several discussions were held between Karnataka and Tamilnadu post independence in 1960’s and 70’s over the allocation of water among the states. But these meetings and negotiations did not yield any result. By 1981 the claims made by the riparian states became quite divergent with each state demanding their share of t.m.c.ft of water from Cauvery
