GODAVARI WATER DISPUTES TRIBUNAL: The catchment area of Godavari lies in the states of Maharashtra, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and Orissa. The competitive claims of the neighboring states in the utilization of the waters Godavari resulted in the constitution of the Godavari water disputes tribunal in 1969 under the Inter-State Water Disputes Act 1956. The Tribunal gave its award in 1979. According to this agreement Andhra Pradesh shall have right to utilize 1480 tmc/ft of Godavari waters. But till 2004 the actual utilization was 720 tmc.ft only; leaving a balance of 760 tmc/ft out of assessed 75% dependable of water. B. KRISHNA WATER DISPUTES TRIBUNAL: The catchment area of the river Krishna is spread over the states of Maharashtra, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh. In order to settle the disputes among the three State Governments, the Krishna Water Disputes Tribunal was constituted in April 1969. The Tribunal gave its award in 1973 and further report in 1976. The agreement came into force from the year 1976-77. The Tribunal determined for the purpose of case, the 75 percent dependable flow of the river Krishna up to Vijayawada is 2060 tmc ft and the same allocated among the 3 claimants as follows, as against the demands put forth by the states for more quantities. State Demand in Allocation made in Additional allocation Tmc ft. Atmc ft of Regenerated flows Maharashtra 828 560 25 Karnataka 1432 700 34 Andhra 2008 800 11 4268 2060 70 Till 2004, the entire quantity of 811 tmc ft of water of Krishna is said to be fully utilized by Andhra Pradesh.

allocated in any water year of the river Krishna in excess of the quantity specified. C. Agreement on usage of Pennar Waters The agreement on the utilization of the Pennar river water were reached between the Government of Madras and the Government of Mysore in February 1892. It, among others, covers utilization of waters of Pennar and its tributaries and also Tungabhadra and Vedavathi. This agreement was partially modified by an agreement reached between the two Governments in December 1933. According to present agreement the AP is entitled to utilize 98 tmc ft of water and is fully utilized by now. The anticipated yield from Pennar Basin is being realized only on down stream of Anantapur district, resulting in non receipt of water to Small, Medium Irrigation Projects (viz) Upper Pennar Project, Mid Pennar Dam and also many tanks situated in Pennar Basin (Including Chithravathy Sub Basin) is mainly due to contribution of yield through streams like KUNDU, SAGILERU, PAPAGNI and to lesser degree Chithravathy. All these streams are contributing yield to some extent outside Anantapur District territory to benfit only Pennar delta in Nellore District. 7.0 GUIDING PRINCIPLES LAW APPLIED IN THE DECISION OF KWDT AWARD The guiding principle and law applied in adjudication of Krishna river water posing a great hindrance to create Irrigation facility atleast to a minimum level in the needy Rayalaseema region in general and Anantapur, Mahaboob nagar districts in particular. The apportionment of water resources must take into account the peculiar physical, hydrological, economic political and legal characteristics of the river system, the state wise drainage area, contribution to the supply, the respective needs of the regions, the population dependent on the water supply, the degree of their dependence, alternative means of satisfying the needs, the extent of lawfully established uses, reasonable requirements for future uses in each region, the relative value of different uses and avoidance of unnecessary waste of water. Equitable apportionment calls for the above variable yet important factors. The weight to be given to a relevant factor is a matter of judgment on the pertinent facts of the particular case and no hard and fast rule can be laid down. 7.1 PRIORITY TO EXISTING USES In the KWDT has discussed the principle of priority of appropriation at length quoting from the law in United States of America under which the one who first appropriated water and put it to beneficial uses there by acquired a vested right to continue to divert and use that quantity of water against all claimants junior to him in point of time. “FIRST IN TIME, FIRST IN RIGHT” is the short expression of this legal principle. The committee considered that prima face the reasonable requirement of all projects in 29
