a. Bihar Flood

Background :-

The 2008 Bihar flood, which is one of the worst floods in the history of the Indian state of Bihar, occurred due to a breach in the Kosi embankment near Indo-Nepal border (at a place called Kusha in Nepal) on August 18, 2008. The river changed its course and inundated areas which hadn't experienced floods in last many decades. The flood affected over 2.3 million people in the northern part of Bihar.

On, 18 August 2008, due to preceding heavy monsoon rains, there was a breach in the embankments of the Kosi River, north of a dam in Nepal. About 1, 29,800 cusec water was discharged through the breach inundating hundreds of villages in north Bihar districts of Supaul, Araria, Madhepura and Purnea. The flood submerged most of the Kosi alluvial fan area, which is very fertile and has dense agrarian population. The breach caused colossal loss of life and property in the south east tarai region of Nepal and in six districts of north Bihar, affecting more than 2.5 million human lives.Kosi river flows north to south, from Himalayas in Nepal & Tibet to Ganges in Bihar state of India. Usually due to heavy silt deposition, the river keeps taking longer curvilinear path to drain into Ganges. Due to this, the river had shifted its course in the last 300 years. After the breach, the river has shifted its course nearly 100 kilometres eastward from its earlier course (which use to pass through the districts of Supaul, Saharsa, Madhubani, Darbhanga and Khagaria)
