Indian state formation has done great injustice to Tamil Nadu. I am an educated to take this rational judgement.
The states were formed just based on the language. Not scientifically.
that is the main cause of the issue.
Now let us come to the issue of the MP dam.
1. Tamil nadu is law abiding . - when we agreed to lower the dam height for many decade we have not raised it even though supreme court of india allowed to do it so.
2. Kerala's use of water is to create electricity in idukki...refer to mr oman's information on reducing water level at iduky dam , you can understand that what i mean.
3. 780 MW that is the installed capacity of iduki. and storage capacity is 75 TMC, where us the mullai periyar dam is 15 tmc.
4. this is what kerala AG has given to court today
Mullaperiyar safe: Kerala AG - India - DNA
The iduki dam was mostly holding half of its capacity and it can take entire water of mullaiperiyar.
usually it holds 50 to 55 tmc and it can take additonal 10 tmc.
What does Kerala lose because of MP dam.
1. Idukis dam present installed capacity is around 750 MW . But the water is not sufficient to fully utilize... Proof? can the Govt publicize. its based on AGs report to high court today.
2. around 300 MW or roughly 1000 cr is lost to the govt. thats a huge money
3. By having the dam on Kerala side the water can be diverted as and when needed. for tamilnadu they can go for one more tribunal court and the case will go as long as your kids grand daughter get married as usual a begging bowl .
what tamilnadu gets.
1. Water , the hieght of western ghats prevent rain clouds to enter south and west tamilnadu and the result is it is in rain shadow region . the main source of water is MP
2. We can not pump the water from delta or coastal area ( where we have heavy rains) districts to such distance and heights
3. if the dam is decommissioned, what would be the gaurentee that Kerala govt will fulfill the commitment they say... in fact they have not implemented the supreme court ruling, similarly Karnataka has not implemented supreme court ruling...
4. what about millions of farmers.
Immediate measure.
1. Call international exprets and ***** the dam and remaining life.
2. if the dam is weak then
dont demolish it first
first sign the agreement between two states
a state should not sell water to other state, rather it demand for electricty
Let Center build a new dam and the control should be with an independent operator.
3. If the dam is found to be strong
tell the people it is strong.
if they still dont belive show them the leaky mettur dam they will agree
that MP is lot better.
If every one disagrees with tamilnadu , then
1. tamilnadu by the contract has every right to demolish and build the dam in the same site
2, tamilndau can lay 100s of additional pipes to bring down water and store it in a new lower reservoir
3. worst case scenario . build HARP like climate change program to bring water to the state . even if the rest of india is affected .
well if every one take advantage of their geography and calling the national asset theirs we should.
so dont worry about it if you didt understand it. After all.. 'neengal ennude thambi thane'...
