Which states are included in Vandhada Water Disputes Tribunal?
Odisha and Andhra Pradesh
The stem's "Vandhada" is a mistranslation of the Vansadhara river. The Vansadhara Water Disputes Tribunal was set up in 2010 under the Inter-State River Water Disputes Act, 1956.
The Vansadhara rises in Odisha and flows into Andhra Pradesh before reaching the Bay of Bengal, so the dispute (over the Neradi barrage and the Katragadda side weir) is between Odisha and Andhra Pradesh.
The other pairs belong to other tribunals: Goa, Maharashtra and Karnataka share the Mahadayi (Mandovi) dispute; Gujarat and Maharashtra are parties to the Narmada dispute (with Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan); Kerala and Karnataka are parties to the Cauvery dispute (with Tamil Nadu and Puducherry).
Hence, the Vansadhara Water Disputes Tribunal involves Odisha and Andhra Pradesh.
