10 MAINS WARM-UP( 03 rd JULY 2018) QUESTION. What are the challenges & concerns for Indian economy in the wake of different policies of USA like H1B visa policy & President Trump s JCPOA withdrawal. Examine { 250 WORDS, 15 MARKS }

11 A good beginning: on the Cauvery Water Management Authority The CWMA has been formed by the Centre to implement the water-sharing award of the Cauvery Water Dispute Tribunal. It asked Karnataka to release tmcft (thousand million cubic feet) of water in July. The quantum is based on the monthly schedule drawn up by the Tribunal, and excludes the surplus realised on the Tamil Nadu side in June. Cooperation of the States in gathering data on rainfall, inflows and outflows, cropping patterns and periodic withdrawals from reservoirs will led to effective successfully performing it s role. As the south-west monsoon forecast to be normal this year & CWMA meeting in every 10 days a year thus there may not be any major problem in overseeing the release of water to Tamil Nadu. It is only in a distress year that the CWMA will face a significant challenge, as determining the extent of distress, and dividing the shortfall among the States on a pro rata basis can be tricky exercises. How unfortunate will be another round of litigation? i. Karnataka is about to challenge in the Supreme Court the Centre s notification constituting the Authority which will be against the provisions of the Inter-State River Water Disputes Act, 1956, which says it is the Centre s duty to notify a scheme to implement the award of a Tribunal. ii. Karnataka s claim that the scheme requires parliamentary approval before it is implemented is questionable as Parliament has the power to modify the scheme, or leave it as it stands.

12 Way forward? States need to adopt the issue of sharing the waters of the inter-state river in a spirit of cooperation. Parties concerned should leave behind the era of litigation. A non-political mechanism available to make sound professional decisions on water availability and sharing of distress. After having been locked in a contentious legal dispute for so long, all parties concerned must embark on a new era of mutually beneficial water-sharing.
