Krishna river dispute shows why there is an urgent need to rethink the way inter-state rivers are managed and governed
ON JULY 15, 2021, the Union government issued two gazette notifications with the hope of ending the long and bitter dispute between Karnataka and Telangana over the sharing of Krishna and Godavari waters. Simply put, the notifications ensure that the states will no longer be a part of the decision-making process.
Water sharing has been a sore point between the states ever since Telangana was carved out of Andhra Pradesh in June 2014. To address the issue, it was decided that river management boards will be set up to look after the operations and water allocation for hydro projects on a case-by-case basis. These boards were to be supervised by a tribunal and an apex council, comprising chief ministers of both the states and the Union minister of Jal Shakti, giving a say to the Centre and both states in all matters. Still, the dispute continued.

Are we beyond laws of evolution?
WE AS a society are disconnecting from nature. This is a truism for the human species. But how disconnected are we from nature, from where we evolved? On the face of it, this sounds like a philosophical question. Still, if one gets to measure this, which tool to use? Miles Richardson, a professor engaged in nature connectedness studies at the School of Psychology, University of Derby, UK, has published a study that attempts to measure this widening connection between humans and nature. His finding says that human connection to nature has declined 60 per cent since 1800.
