E-mail: [email protected] bIndependent consultant, Canberra, Australia cNational University of Singapore, Singapore dDuke University, Durham, USA Public Disclosure Authorized eSkoll Global Threats Fund, San Francisco, USA fUniversity of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Manchester Business School, Manchester, UK Abstract This paper summarizes the results of the Ganges Strategic Basin Assessment (SBA), a 3-year, multi-disciplinary effort undertaken by a World Bank team in cooperation with several leading regional research institutions in South Asia. It begins to fill a crucial knowledge gap, providing an initial integrated systems perspective on the major water resources planning issues facing the Ganges basin today, including some of the most important infrastructure options that have been proposed for future development. The SBA developed a set of hydrological and economic models for the Ganges system, using modern data sources and modelling techniques to assess the impact of existing and potential new hydraulic structures on flooding, hydropower, low flows, water quality and irrigation supplies at the basin scale. It also involved repeated exchanges with policy makers and opinion makers in the basin, during which perceptions of the basin Public Disclosure Authorized could be discussed and examined. The study’s findings highlight the scale and complexity of the Ganges basin. In par- ticular, they refute the broadly held view that upstream water storage, such as reservoirs in Nepal, can fully control basin- wide flooding.

A BBC report of 30 August notes that the death toll has risen to 70, and at least 124,000 people have been evacuated to safer grounds. The Save the Children Alliance reports that over 500,000 children have been put at risk. Information below has been received from ACT member Church’s Auxiliary for Social Action (CASA), which is in the process of mobilizing a substantial emergency response. The Kosi River, which gathers water from some of the highest mountains in Nepal, including Everest, and enters India in north Bihar, changed its course, and shifted over 120 km eastwards on 18 August 2008. In the process it has rendered useless more than 300 km of embankments that had been built to control its waters, and picked up a channel it had abandoned over 200 years ago. The effect has been enormous, inundating numerous towns and villages that were considered “flood safe areas”, and that had not seen such floods for decades It is a catastrophe far greater than the annual floods. People from various villages have taken shelter along the roads as most of their houses have been washed away in the flood waters.

Since the Ganga is an inter-state river, it is necessary to prepare integrated plans to tackle the flood and related problems of the basin and to ensure their implementation in a co-ordinated manner. Ganga Flood Control Commission was created in 1972 as a subordinate office of Ministry of Water Resources. Since its inception, GFCC has played a vital role in assisting the States to manage the floods in the Ganga basin. As a part of its mandate it has prepared comprehensive plans of all the 23 river systems of the Ganga basin and sent the same to the State Governments for taking follow up action on the suggestions made in these plans.

  • Assessment of Water Quality of Budhi Gandak River at Muzaffarpur, Bihar, India S
    Int. J. Chem. Sci.: 7(4), 2009, 2429-2433 ASSESSMENT OF WATER QUALITY OF BUDHI GANDAK RIVER AT MUZAFFARPUR, BIHAR, INDIA S. MUMTAZUDDIN *, ABUL KALAM AZAD and MANOJ KUMAR University Deptt. of Chemistry, B. R. A. Bihar University, MUZAFFARPUR – 842001 (Bihar) INDIA ABSTRACT This paper represents the results of chemical characteristics during one year across five sampling stations located on the bank of Budhi Gandak river at Muzaffarpur. The water quality parameters like pH, TDS, DO, BOD, COD, hardness, chloride, calcium and magnesium were studied by various analytical techniques. It was observed that most of the water quality parameters are in the acceptable limits in accordance with WHO standards. Key words : Water quality, Budhi Gandak river, Muzaffarpur. INTRODUCTION The river Budhi Gandak, also known as Burhi Gandak, is an important perennial river of north Bihar. It is believed that the river “Vishala” or “Vihalya”, which finds a description in the Mahabharatta, is present day Budhi Gandak. The Chaur of small village Vishambar in the east of Chautarwa near “Bagha” in the district of West Champaran is supposed to be its point of origin. However, its original source is Someshwar mountain range near West Champaran. The river Budhi Gandak, passing through the district of West Champaran, East Champaran, Muzaffarpur, Samastipur, Darbhanga, Begusarai, Munger and Khagaria, covers a distance of about 410 km and finally merges into the river Ganges near a village called Mansi in the east of Khagaria 1. The river Budhi Gandak is an important source of drinking and domestic water, irrigation and fish protein. But due to intense human interferences and rapid urbanization, this river has become contaminated with discharge of municipal wastes, domestic sewage and fertilizers from fields with receding flood water.

  • A Case Study of the Kosi Flood 2008
    SPECIAL ARTICLE Institutional Dysfunction and Challenges in Flood Control: A Case Study of the Kosi Flood 2008 Rashmi Kiran Shrestha, Rhodante Ahlers, Marloes Bakker, Joyeeta Gupta The Kosi flood disaster of 2008 in Bihar and also in Nepal he Kosi floods of 2008, caused by an embankment breach highlights two key issues relating to flood control. The at Kusaha village of Sunsari district in Nepal, was disas- trous. The embankments were built by India in 1959 as re- first is the failure of the structural approach to flood T quired by the 1954 Kosi treaty between Nepal and India. The control on the Kosi and the second is institutional treaty provided for construction of embankments in Nepalese dysfunction with respect to trans-boundary flood territory to control flooding both in Bihar state within India, and management. This article discusses the key reasons for a section of Nepal bordering with India. The recent floods raise two main issues: (1) Are the flood control measures appropriate the failure of flood management in the Kosi, through for the unique nature of the Kosi river? (2) To what extent can the stakeholder interviews and observations in the flood be attributed to the institutions managing the Kosi river? aftermath of the flood. The institutional context This is of critical importance if similar floods are to be prevented comprises several challenges such as trans-boundary and/or managed better in the future. The unique characteristics of the Kosi river and existing flood politics between Nepal and India, the internal politics of control measures have been extensively discussed by Dixit (2009) Nepal, intra-state politics in India, the inherent and Sinha (2008) and also by Kale (2008), Reddy et al (2008) weaknesses of the Kosi treaty, structural flood control and Gyawali (2008).1 However, although all authors refer to strategy and the lack of connection between the role of the institutions involved in the management of the Kosi river, not one analyses them.
