Cauvery river water dispute

The much talked about dispute is related to sharing of river Cauvery water between the states Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. 

The place of origin of the dispute goes back to the two controversial agreements signed between the two states in 1892 and 1924 at the time when the two were parts of Princely State of Mysore and erstwhile Madras Presidency.
