Building
Community Resilience to Flood Risks in Kaisarganj Block,
U.P., India.
Bahraich District of
Uttar Pradesh, situated below the boarder of Nepal, is a
high flood hazard zone. The districts get flooded when there
is high rain in the upstream of rivers in Nepal, and especially
when there is overflow discharge from the barrages in the
Indo-Nepal boarder. Bahraich District and especially Kaisarganj
Block were submerged by flooding from the Ghaghra river
from end of July to September 2007.

Flood
Relief Program in Kaiserganj, U.P.
In
the end of September month, major flood divested the area
of Behraich district. It was the first time that
the flood came in the month of September so people were
not in preparation for the flood situation. This time
the water released from the Nepal dam was 1 lac CUSEC
which was very high compare to the release of 2007.

Flood
Relief Programme
Out of the floods which affected 22 districts
in UP, SSK took up one district, viz Bahraich, bordering
Nepal, near the Ghagra river.Beharaich district is the most
backward district of U.P. and is prone to flood as the district
is banked by the river Ghaghara. It is unfortunate
that every year the government fails to take preventive
measures.
