Bihar Floods: 100 Years of Sorrow, 9,500 Deaths & Can Bihar Be Flood-Free?

Why does Bihar drown every year? In this episode, we uncover 100 years of Bihar floods - from the 1935 flood to the 1968 Kosi record discharge of 7.88 lakh cusecs, the devastating 1987 flood (1,399 deaths, 2.86 crore affected), the 2008 Kushaha Breach (33 lakh homeless), the 2017 Araria floods (514 deaths), and the shocking 2026 Ganga record of 50.53m in Patna.

Did you know 73% of Bihar is flood-prone? 76% of North Bihar lives under flood threat? We explain the real cause - Nepal Himalayan silt, failed embankments (160km in 1954 to 3,465km in 1999, yet flood area tripled to 6.89 million hectares), and the man-made trap.

We also discuss solutions - silt management, Indo-Nepal water treaty, flood plain zoning like Netherlands, ISRO early warning & FMIS Bihar app, and how you can stay safe.
