why Bihar flood every year during the monsoon.
Answers
Explanation:
Floods in Bihar are not caused due to heavy rainfall in the state alone. A number of Himalayan rivers from Nepal flow down into the flood-plains of Bihar, making it India's most flood-prone state.
As rivers rise in the Indian state, complications with upstream Nepal, the effects of the pandemic and lockdown combine to worsen the situation for citizens.
On July 11, Reshmi Devi was forced to leave her village, which is within the embankments of the Koshi river in Supaul district, Bihar. Floods have been a routine threat to Devi, a widow, and many others in the east Indian state of Bihar, for the past few decades. Since the weekend hundreds of people have fled, or are fleeing, their homes in nearly a dozen districts. They have taken shelter on embankments, highways and the rooftops of buildings.
