How can Bengaluru ask for Cauvery water even though it doesn't come under the Cauvery basin?
But doesn't that mean it's taking water away from areas that are actually in the Cauvery basin and need water?
That is a possibility, as the allocation of Cauvery water is already a contentious issue among the states located in the basin. However, it's important to note that Bengaluru has a large population and needs a reliable water supply, which is why it's seeking water from multiple sources, including the Cauvery.
