Kerala will demand more water and control over water regulating structures in its territory at the talks with Tamil Nadu on review of the Parambikulam-Aliyar Project (PAP) agreement to be held here on Friday. Chief Secretaries of the two States will lead the talks supported by seven-member teams consisting of higher officials. Kerala maintains that the water requirements on its side have gone up after signing of the Parambikulam-Aliyar agreement in 1970. So, the ratio of sharing of waters should be revised. Besides, the yield from the Parambikulam-Aliyar system should be reassessed on the basis of current data. Kerala will specifically demand that more water be released to the State through the Manacadavu weir. The State should also get more water from the Sholayar. There was water shortage in the Chitturpuzha which needed to be reviewed. Kerala has accused Tamil Nadu of violation of terms of the agreement on a number of counts. Tamil Nadu had not released stipulated quantities of water to Kerala on a number of occasions and had failed to maintain stipulated water level in the Sholayar reservoir. Considering that, Kerala wants control over release of water. Now, the structures regulating water flow located in Kerala are controlled by Tamil Nadu. Kerala will press at least for joint regulation. Tamil Nadu will be demanding diversion of 2.5 thousand million cubic feet of water from the Anamalayar river to the Parambikulam-Aliyar system as provided for in the agreement. (Kerala is required to provide the water only on completion of the Idamalayar project). However, Kerala would either want the matter to be kept pending till the completion of the canal system of Idamalayar project or set off against availability of water to Tamil Nadu elsewhere in the system. The modification of the contour canal going from the Sarkarpathy power house to Thirumoorthy dam and water belonging to Kerala intercepted by this canal will be another bone of contention. Constructions undertaken by Tamil Nadu such as the Kadampara power house, which is not provided for in the agreement, will be yet another issue to be resolved. There is also the dispute about accounting of unintended release of water by Tamil Nadu during the rain which could not be resolved at the last meeting of the Joint Water Regulation Board. Kerala Minister for Water Resources N.K. Premachandran said the State would strive to avoid a deadlock and carry forward with the dialogue.
