		Similarly, the Kosi River that flows from Nepal to India was known as the “ Sorrow of Bihar”.
		The Kosi river is now on the verge of shifting to the east far away from its present course.
		The bed slope of the river in the pond area was abut 0.61 m per km in the year 1956 prior to construction of the barrage, which became flatter to about 0.42 m per km in the year 1969, ie in six years of the functioning of the barrage.

		Now the Kosi River is again going to pose a serious threat to the life and property of millions of peoples in India and Nepal because the embankments built almost a half century ago to control floods might soon outlive their useful life.
		The Kosi is regarded as one of the largest braided streams of the world, though the Kosi River is marked by distinct downstream changes in channel patterns.
		The drainage basin of the Kosi River is in Nepal Himal.

		The Kosi river was one of the first to be straitjacketed within embankments, and those living in its vicinity were eventually to suffer the consequences.
		The Kosi is a lively and turbulent river of north Bihar that originates in the Tibetan highlands.
		In 1941, the Congress leader from Bihar, Anugrah Narain Singh, advocated a relocation of the population of the Kosi belt to the hilly areas of Ramgarh, in Hazaribagh district.

		The Kosi River emerges from the Siwalik Hills near the town of Chatra, where old fan surfaces and adjacent hills have a savanna forest cover (Figure F-19.1).
		Between 1736 and 1964, the Kosi River shifted 110 km from east to west, reworking all the land in between (Gole and Chitale, 1966).

	North Bihar Floods and the Proposed Dams in Nepal (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		All these rivers bring a lot of detritus with their waters as they debauch into the plains from the Himalayas which is in its nascent stage of formation and is just a loose heap of soil'.
		As the rivers descend down to the plains the velocity decreases considerably which results in the deposition of the sediments and the formation of the delta The deposited sediments act as an impediment to the river flow and the rivers cut across these deposits and carve a new path for themselves and meander.
		The high dam on the Kosi was first proposed in 1937 when the official line of thinking was opposed to embankments and was tilted heavily in favour of improving the drainage and removing all the impediments in the flow path of rain water.

		The Kosi River in north Bihar is notorious for the meandering behavior of its east-to-west course.
		In 1955, the river was harnessed with the construction of a barrage.
		Although the embankments have calmed the Kosi, flow regulation can not be said to have reduced the severity and duration of flooding, and embankment breaches have occurred in many years including 1968, 1984, 1987, 1988, 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2004.

		Nepal can be divided into three major river systems from east to west: the Kosi River, the Narayani River (India's Gandak River), and the Karnali River.
		Rather, the deep gorges formed by the rivers represent immense obstacles to establishing the broad transport and communication networks needed to develop an integrated national economy.

		Drained by two major rivers, the Kosi and Gandak, and several smaller systems such as Burhi Gandak, Baghmati and Kamla-Balan, the plains of north Bihar have experienced extensive and frequent loss of life and property over the last several decades (Sinha and Jain, 1998).
		The Kosi River (The Sorrow of Bihar) is well-known in India for rapid and frequent avulsions of its course and the extensive flood damages it causes almost every year.
		The Kosi is one of the major tributaries of the Ganga River, and rises in the Nepal Himalayas.

		The river's moniker stems from one of two things: the gold often panned from the river gravel; or, more likely, the river's orange color during monsoon season when it is filled with alluvial silt.
		The river varies from huge post-monsoon run-off in early October to low winter flows in January and February; the flows rise again in May with snowmelt and pre-monsoon rains.
		The river's rapids change from year to year, depending on the strength of the most recent monsoons.

		Although the long-term implications of reduced dry-season flows in the Ganges are catastrophic, both for the survival of river dolphins and a major portion of the world's human population that inhabits the Ganges basin, the cumulative effects of reduced water supplies have received little attention.
		River dolphins may be particularly vulnerable to industrial pollution because their habitat in counter-current pools downstream of confluences and sharp meanders often places them in close proximity to point sources in major urban areas (e.g., Allahabad, Varanasi, Patna, Calcutta, and Dhaka).

		The entry point of the Kosi navigation canal into the Ganges river is near the tail end of the Ganges river where the depth and widths of the river channel are expected to be adequate for relatively big river vessels.
		The Kosi navigation canal would have to be planned to take vessels plying in the lower reach of the Ganges, as a result, it would be far bigger in size by comparison with similar canals along the Gandak or the Karnali rivers falling into the Upper Reach Ganges.
		The size of the Kosi navigation canal and its related structures such as the lock system should be determined in conformity with the size already adopted by India in design of the Farakka barrage navigation system which corresponds to the recommended size in Europe.
