Dinesh Mishra Gajendra Bhai,
This is something that is very familiar to me. I can see water on either
side of the embankment in the background indicating presence of flood water
on either side of the embankment ( non-believer would call it a road) andpeople living on it under makeshift arrangement. Unfortunately, I do not
know data entry in Devnagari although I write in Hindi, I may not be of much help. How I wish I could have sent you something. A graphic record of such a situation is available from pages 68-75 of my book "Dui Paatan Ke Beech Mein...". That is all I can say.
Best wishes.

Gajendra Thakur @Dinesh Mishra ji, you can start a debate regarding flood control here in English. I have seen Sh. Satya Narayan Jha suggesting on facebook which I am reproducing here...@Satya Narayan Jha

Vimal Jha Each time a breach occurs on the kosi embankments, Bihar's politicians starts blaming Nepal govt. and unpredictable course change of the kosi river. I am wondering why govt's flood control programme is not in sync with Dr. Dinesh Mishra's view. Please correct me if I am wrong?-
Dinesh MishraAs far as Bihar is concerned, there are 4 barrages on the Kosi, the Gandak in India and one each on the Bagmati and the Kamala in Nepal. Tha barrages on the Kosi and the Gandak are manned by Bihar Engineers and they get salaries from the Go...See More

Dinesh Mishra *Blaming Nepal for Floods in India*
* *
The floods in the basin were bit advanced in 2004 and in a heart rending incident, a bus full of the 32 occupants of a marriage party was swept awaynear Bhanaspatti on the 7th June. Only six persons could be rescued and all
the rest were killed in this untimely flood of the season.
On the same day, near a road bridge on the Bagmati connecting Sitamarhi to Sheohar, some 24 persons died when a boat carrying them capsized in the
river. According to the eye witnesses, nearly 60 persons were traveling in
the boat and 5 motor cycles and some 10 cycles were also loaded in it. The district administration confirmed 10 deaths later. Apart from statistics,
the rainy season in the basin started on a very bad note this year. Both
these events acquired significance when a report appeared in the local
newspaper (Dainik Hindustan-Patna edition of 9th June 2004) titled ‘Nepal se paani chhore jaane ke karan barh aai’ (Floods were caused because of release of water from Nepal). The news report said, ‘…According to a Press Release here, the Chief Minister has said that there has been an untimely flood
because of sudden release of huge quantity of water from Nepal without
giving any prior notice. The District Magistrate of Sitamarhi has informed
the Chief Minister that the accidents were caused because of untimely flood
in the district.’ There was a fierce debate over this statement of the Chief Minister in the Vidhan Sabha and the Vidhan Parishad as both were in session
at that time.’
During the debate on the budget of the Water Resources Department of 2004-05
in Bihar Vidhan Sabha, Ram Pravesh Rai MLA had said, ‘…It was said here the day before that Nepal releases water. Sir, I also sit with him sometimes and
he tells that Nepal does not release any water, we make false allegations.
When the water is beyond the capacity (of the channels), it comes here as
floods and causes destruction in Bihar. Sir, many people are still missing
in the recent floods. The highways connecting Sitamarhi, Muzaffarpur and
Sheohar are closed because of floodwater coming from Nepal and we allege
that this is happening because Nepal releases water.’
Because of misinformation or issuing statements knowingly to pass the buck
on Nepal for releasing water that causes floods in eastern Uttar Pradesh and North Bihar by responsible leaders, common person in these parts of the
country is convinced that Nepal is responsible for the floods in his area.
In the absence of correct information, local media also participates
actively in spreading this canard. This may be suiting the politicians, administrators and engineers to save their skin but it definitely leads to friction among the people living on either side of the border. No wonder
that an average Nepali is convinced that all the benefits of the joint
ventures of water resources have gone to India and they are left in lurch.
An engineer and social worker from Nepal, Ajaya Dixit says, ‘…Both statements are incorrect because there are no storage dams in Nepal:
flooding is the natural outcome of the region’s interconnected
hydro-ecology. The few barrages and weirs in Nepal cannot store water, and
the only dam on the Kulekhani River can store only a tiny volume of monsoon water. The general Indian perception, however, reflects the conventional response wherein both the problems and their solutions are externalized in
space and time seeking a hierarchic solution to control floods. It bears
serious lessons for developing and managing Himalayan waters, and about
risks and benefits involved in this approach.’

Gajendra Thakur @Dinesh Mishra ji Satyanarayanji has said that on Kosi a bridge is being constructed, the data taken is maximum discharge of only 790000 cusecs for today, while in 1968 it was at a higher level at 950000 cusecs! the four streams has been merged into the fifth stream, it will lead to more squaring in downstream, lead to damage to the Bandh.. please give your suggestion/ opinion on this..regards..
