The discharge from a tributary cannot enter the main river because of the construction of the embankments. This water, from the tributary, will either back-flow into the countryside or start flowing parallel to the embankments on the main river, flooding new areas, hitherto unknown to experience flooding. The obvious solution to this problem is to construct a sluice gate at the confluence of the two rivers.

However, it is difficult to operate such sluice gates during the monsoon months for the fear that if the water level in the main river is high, there is a possibility of the water from the main river flowing back into the tributary. Sluice gates often get jammed after a few years of their installation due to deposition of sand in their front, on the riverside.

Thus sluice gates or no sluice gates, the tributary water will spread into the countryside. These sluice gates can be operated only after the rains are over and the water level within the embankments has considerably gone down. By the time the damage is already done. When the sluice gates fail to perform, it is often proposed to construct the embankments over the tributary, to prevent its spill.

Now the rainwater than falls within the two embankments, of the main river and that of the tributary, has so escape left.

If becomes a case of water locking. This water can only evaporate into the atmosphere or seep through the ground, in such a case. The other option is to pump it back into any of the two rivers. If pumping out the floodwater were the solution, this could have been resorted to even without constructing the the embankments, the sluice gates or the secondary embankments. Should a breach occur in any of the embankments mentioned above: the people residing within the two embankments will not find time to react to surges of water emanating out of the gaps and will meet their watery graves.

Sometimes, those who are adversely affected by waterlogging outside the embankments, in the countryside, cut the embankments to drain the accumulated water into the river. Besides, no embankment has been built so far, nor there is a possibility of one being built anytime in future, anywhere in the world: that would not breach. Such incidents of breaches in embankments are integral part of this technology and that causes immense hardship and loss of life and property to the people living in the countryside of the embankments.

The embankments prevent the rainwater that would have entered freely into the river and this water accumulates outside the embankments causing severe water logging conditions in the countryside. Waterlogging is further compounded by seepage through the main body of the embankments. Besides, the river water contains a lot of fertilizing silt in its flow, which used to spread over the land along with the floodwater and rejuvenated agricultural lands prior to the construction of the embankments.

This silt gets trapped between the embankments and the countryside slowly loses its fertility which has got to be replenished artificially by adding fertilizers and has got to be paid for. Sometimes, for topographical or political reasons, embankments are built only on one side of the river. Everything remains the same in this case too, except that the floodwater is now free to flow on the opposite side of the embankment. Seeking flood protection through embankments is walking into a trap where every action leads to a new initiative and the problem goes on deteriorating with time.

A section of engineers, however, believe that when a river is embanked, the waterway available to the river reduces which results in the increased velocity of the river water. With the rise in the velocity of floodwater, the eroding capacity of the river increases. When the flood-water erodes the banks and dredges the bottom of the river, its width and depth would increase and so will be its discharge carrying capacity. Thus, the river is re-sectioned and it would carry more discharge, causing the floods to decline.

The debate whether the embankments add to, or reduce the flood problem is still inconclusive in the technical circles. We have such a strong case against the embankments, if we do not want to build them. At the same time, the argument in favour of the embankments is equally sound and scientific.

Repairing Kosi’s breaches not a longterm solution

Thus, the arguments, for and against the embankments, both, are highly technical and so strong that nobody can find any fault with them. The decision, whether to build embankments or not, however, is mostly taken by politicians, for obvious reasons, and engineers are made to defend their decision. The engineers, irrespective of their stature, are so weak that the politicians use them at their will and get the things done the way they like. Throughout the British occupation of India this embankment debate remained at the center of flood control measures but since the Government was opposed to embanking of the rivers, it's engineers also followed the suit.

That, probably, was the reason that when embankments were pushed as a means to control floods, in the post independence period in India, the people were not convinced and the Bhutahi Balan basin was no exception to this general rule. Local people have opposed the scheme, which is now being revised.

The question of embankment was dropped for the time being, but Bhutahi Balan continued to threaten the western Kosi embankment as its drainage remained problematic. That the Bhutahi Balan embankments were built by just requesting the Government or by taking notice of the deteriorating drainage problem in the area was never the case. The Bhutahi Balan keeps changing its course and until it starts flowing in a fixed channel, there will be no benefit in embanking it. However, we are studying the problem and we will come out with an appropriate scheme at the right moment.

It is obvious from the statement of Dip Narayan Singh that the Bhutahi Balan was not a problematic river till , before the construction of the western Kosi-embankment. He, however, consoled people by saying that the investigations were on and that some appropriate action would be taken at the right moment. Between 22nd August and 1st September , there was an unprecedented flood in the river. Because of the prolonged floods, the food stocks of the people dwindled and the possibilities of the next crop receded.

Houses collapsed in large numbers and there was two meter deep water on the roads and in the villages.

People had to take shelter on the trees, rooftops or by arranging chowkis one above the other. The boats in the area were few and the whole area was cut off from the rest of the world.

It so happened that there was a meter long embankment between the villages of Dhausahi and Murli. This embankment was under attack from the Bhutahi Balan for the past some years. In case of any breach in the embankment, the river water was likely to spread over a vast area and engulf many villages. The residents of the villages that were likely to be affected by this breach approached the local Block Development Officer BDO with a request that the embankment be repaired. The repairs would cost around Rs 5, but that would save a population of about 56, from the likely floods of the Bhutahi Balan, they felt.

He advised against any repairs to be carried out. This led to a fresh initiative in that direction once again. Another scheme was prepared in consultation with the Civil SDO of Madhubani and the collector of Darbhanga accorded the sanction to it.

Even this scheme could not be implemented because of the dilly-dallying of the officials at the block level. The result was that the Bhutahi Balan, that used to pass through Ramnagar and Parsa to join the Kosi, breached the Dhausahi-Murli embankment and devastated the villages mentioned above, first with floodwaters and later by sand. Not only the crops were lost, the seeds were also not available anymore.

Crops in all but one panchayat of Phulparas suffered the damages and Siswar, Kalapatti, Dhamdiha. A demand was made by the people to look into the failure of the embankment and a demand to repair the same was made once again. The incident led to a fresh demand for building of embankments along the river. He said, ' Flood ruins circles; it breaches roads and demolishes railway lines.

But there is no attempt to control the river. A vast area is devastated. Last year, the coalition government acted swiftly on the scheme. The chief engineer visited the sites and a project was prepared to save the area from the Bhutahi Balan. It is the duty of the government to place the proposal before the Central Government, take the approval of the Planning Commission, and arrange for the resources so that the people of the area are protected.

The Government of Bihar yielded to the demand to an extent, in , but faced a resource crunch. Even if there is some saving, it is difficult to say at this stage whether the scheme can be taken up. The floods of were almost repeated in but in , the Bhutahi Balan started writing new episodes of devastation.

The flood that hit the villages on the 12th June broke all past records. A major portion of the Jhanjharpur-Khutauna road was submerged under floodwaters and the traffic suspended for many days. The residents of Brahmapur village cut the road to drain out the accumulated water and faced trial later for this 'criminal act'. Rao, Central Minister for Irrigation, a year earlier. The state government still had not made up its mind to approve the scheme.

It is the irony of Governance that until and unless people force the Government to take a particular scheme in any area, no work is done. The proposals of building embankments on the Bhutahi Balan were stretched up to s. The Irrigation Department of the Government of Bihar, in , proposed to construct an embankment on the west bank of the Bhutahi Balan to protect parts of Laukaha, Phulparas, Ghoghardiha, Jhanjharpur, and Madhepur blocks of Darbhanga District.

Elsewhere, at Ghonghepur, the western Kosi embankment is terminated. This point is 54 kilometers south of Kisunipatti. The floodwaters of the Kosi used to take a U-turn here and inundate many villages west of the western Kosi embankment. The embankments of Kamla were built from Jainagar to Darjia, in early s, and if a flood occurred in the Kosi, the Kamla waters would not find passage and spread in the same area that was inundated by the backwaters of the Kosi. Thus, the area between the Kosi and the Kamla embankments, although technically free from floods of both, faced severe drainage congestion.

The floodwaters of the Bhutahi Balan added insult to injury in this region. This led to an added momentum of the demand for flood protection and the embankments on the Bhutahi Balan. Further, the area lying to the west of the Bhutahi Balan was designed to receive irrigation from the Western Kosi Canal WKC , and to meet the needs of irrigation, the area had to be made flood free for which embankments would be needed. Under these compelling parameters, the Bhutahi Balan Embankment scheme was prepared in and an embankment The embankment would start from Laukaha, near Indo-Nepal border, and end up near Parsa on the Ghoghardiha-Nirmali Railway line that acted as western Kosi embankment in that region.

Having worked so hard to prepare the Project Report of the Bhutahi Balan embankment Scheme, it took two more years for the Government to announce that the work on this scheme would now start. Despite the announcement of the Government, it took two more years to begin the work and the construction could start only in There was a lot of confusion regarding status of the embankment proposed to be built only on the western bank of the river.

The villages located on the eastern side of the river were worried because all the waters of the Bhutahi Balan, after being prevented from spilling on to the west, would hit them. Their voices were throttled because soon after works on the embankment started; Indira Gandhi clamped a state of emergency on the nation, which made any resistance to the project impossible. The project report of the Bhutahi Balan explicitly suggests that there are many streams on the east of the Bhutahi Balan that start rising in the rainy season.

The embankment on the eastern side was not proposed because, according to the Irrigation Department, the embankment on the west bank was not likely to have any significant adverse impact there. This assumption of the engineers was proved wrong as the problems increased on the eastern side subsequent to the construction of the western embankment.
