મેઇન્સ
GS Paper 2 (federalism, inter-state relations). Inter-state river disputes arise from competing claims over scarce water, addressed through Article 262, the 1956 Act, tribunals and the Supreme Court's 2018 verdict that led to the CWMA. Compliance with the Authority's orders, especially in deficit years, tests cooperative federalism; a way forward lies in data-driven distress-sharing formulae, transparent monitoring and efficient water use.
