Project proposal:

C.1 Rationality/Justification of project:

Water has been major problem in Bihar. It is not scarcity of water, but abundance of water. 16% of Bihar’s land is permanently water logged and every year millions of farmers lost their land due to flood. According to rough estimate 56.5 percent of flood affected Indian live in Bihar. Out of 36 districts in Bihar 22 are flood prone districts. That covers around 65% of total Bihar’s land. The major part of the area lies in North Bihar which id drained by eight major rivers namely Bagmati, Kamala Balan, Bhutahi, Gandak, Burhi Gandak, Ghaghra, Koshi and The Ganges.

During the 2001 flood, 22 districts, 183 blocks, 1653 Panchayat and 5,477 villages were affected. A total of 10.15 lakh hectares were affected. The flood affected 81.28 lakh people and took 203 lives.. Last year, floods rendered more than 30 million homeless in Bihar. If we look at the history of Bihar every year the flood comes in more devastating form creating lot of havoc and life loss.

Floods occur in almost all rivers basins of the country. Heavy rainfall, inadequate capacity of rivers to carry the high flood discharge, inadequate drainage to carry away the rainwater quickly to Streams/ Rivers are the main causes of floods. Ice jams or land slides blocking streams; typhoons and cyclones also cause floods. Excessive rainfall combined with inadequate carrying capacity of streams resulting in over spilling of banks is the cause for flooding in majority of cases.

Flood is a perennial problem and needles to say that every year in Bihar there is need of flood relief and rehabilitation. These are the condition when mankind along with all living creatures surrenders to the nature and relief becomes the immediate need in the area. People are hungry without water, animals die due to lack of fodder and health conditions worsen creating more problems.

If last ten years of data is analyzed every year people dies due to flood and property worth crores of rupess get wasted. Except few years there have been massive floods and relief becomes inevitable.

C.2 The Present Flood Condition in Bihar:

Scores of villages has been devoured by swirling current of rivers like Mahanada, Burhi Gandak, Gandak, Kosi, Bagmati, Kamla balan and Adwara group of rivers. Army has been asked to be ready as day by day flood conditions are worsening up. Road and Rail link between flood affected districts have been badly affected due to overflowing of water in railway tracks and national Highways interlinking these districts.

As reported, the calamity is match larger then expected, this is why the required material are not reaching to its destination due to communication hindrances in the affected area. Further, the recent floods have brought untold miseries to the rural people residing in the flood affected districts. More than one lakh domestic cattle have been washed away and adding further aggravating in unhygienic conditions to these areas due to stink and filth cause by death corps laying scattered all over, posing a serious threat to the lives of human being in these areas. Cholera and dysentery are spreading in these areas. If not checked on time, it will create a serious problem.

The Supaul district is located near Nepal border and all rivers which cause flood in Northern Bihar origin situated in Nepal. The Kosi Baraz has breached 6 Km and the water has entered in Supaul district and it has affected six blocks affecting 12 lakhs people and more than 500 death took places. Houses, utensils, grains and other things washed out in flood water. People are taking shelter at high embankment to save their lives and they are facing problems of shelter, safe drinking water, medical care, food, and hygienic.
