Vaidyanathan said Tamil Nadu had assessed the deficit at 20 TMC, while Karnataka had put it at 16 TMC.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"26\"\/>He alleged that the Cauvery Water Regulation Committee and the Cauvery Water Management Authority (CWMA) had failed to adequately address the shortfall and sought directions to make up the deficit, ANI reported.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"28\"\/>Karnataka opposed the plea, with senior counsel Shyam Divan telling the bench that the state was facing a drought-like situation.<span class=\"id-r-component br\"
