The Supreme Court fixed 15 October for final hearing on the Telangana plea for the division of Krishna river water with Maharashtra, Karnataka, and Andhra Pradesh. Telangana has asked that it be treated as a separate entity from AP in the distribution issue amongst the stakeholder states. Justices Dipak Misra and Prafulla C Pant said the case will be cleared on an urgent basis.

Introduction
Tussle for Krishna's water

The Krishna water dispute has been around since colonial times with a 1892 agreement between Madras Presidency and Mysore Princely State. Another agreement followed in 1933 between the Hyderabad Princely State and Madras Presidency for water sharing. However, a tribunal was set up by central government in 1969 on the request of Maharastra, Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka to "resolve the disputes among the states".

Telangana seeks fresh water distribution settlement

The Government of Telangana wrote a letter to the Union Government seeking a water disputes tribunal to be constituted under Section 4 (1) of the Inter-State River Disputes Act.

Telangana asked Andhra Pradesh to release water for its second crop which needed water from the Nagarjuna Sagar ayacut reservoir. Telangana said it had used only 117 TMC ft of its 229 TMC share and wanted the rest to be released.

Telangana accuses Karnataka for constructing barrages
