Bihar is India’s most flood-prone State, with 76% of the population in the north Bihar living under the recurring threat of flood devastation. According to some historical data, 16.5% of the total flood affected area in India is located in Bihar while 22.1% of the flood affected population in India lives in Bihar. 
The link between India and Nepal through the Koshi River is one of the main reasons for the flood in Bihar. Rainfall in Nepal overloads dams and lead to flash floods in the Bihar region. Geographically Nepal is a hilly region. When heavy rains occur the water flows to the Koshi River. When the water level rises too high, Nepal opens the shutters of Koshi Barrage Pool to protect the Koshi River dams as well as the bridge. This causes waterlogging in the Gangetic plains of Bihar. The large amount of water discharged from Nepal through Koshi Barrage mainly reaches the Bagmati, Budhi Gandak and Ganges rivers, causing them to break the banks and over flow.

Still GOI has'nt been able to persuade Nepal on this issue even in so many decades !!!

What's your take ???
