Bihar is the most flood-prone state of India. North Bihar's 76% population live under the recurring threat of floods.
During the rainy season, a massive increase in water quantity occurs in rivers of Nepal. As these rivers cross into India, they flow into plains of Bihar and break their banks causing floods.
Kosi is one such river and is also known as 'Sorrow of Bihar'.
