Krishna Water Disputes Tribunal

The Krishna Water Disputes Tribunal was established by the Indian government to resolve disagreements among states over sharing and managing water from the Krishna River. Since multiple states depend on this river for agriculture, drinking water, and industry, conflicts can arise over allocation and usage. The tribunal studies the issues, gathers data, and suggests a fair division of water, ensuring equitable access for all parties. Its goal is to prevent disputes from escalating and to promote cooperative management of the river’s resources for sustainable development.
