&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;NEW DELHI: &lt;/em&gt;Bihar has been battling floods despite receiving less than normal rains this year. Long at the receiving end due to release of water from Nepal, this time though the blame lies squarely on mismanagement of a dam and a barrage in neighbouring states of Madhya Pradesh and West Bengal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The situation has become so bad in the past four days that state chief minister Nitish Kumar on Tuesday rushed to Delhi and met Prime Minister Narendra Modi seeking his intervention to get immediate help and look for a long-lasting solution in the form of a national policy on silt management.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Bansagar dam had been accumulating water for the past over one month. But it started releasing water only when it was 95.22% full and had little capacity to store any more water. The dam authority had opened 16 of its 18 gates on August 19, releasing a huge amount of water in one go. It led to the Ganga rising to unprecedented levels in Patna and elsewhere in Bihar and UP.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Release of water from the Bansagar dam in Madhya Pradesh along the Sone in an unregulated manner has even flooded certain areas in Uttar Pradesh. &amp;quot;If Bansagar dam had not released water during this period of floods in the downstream area, the unprecedented floods in Bihar and UP could have been avoided. It shows mismanagement of the dam by Bansagar Control Board where Bihar is also a party to it along with MP and UP,&amp;quot; said environmentalist and water conservationist Himanshu Thakkar.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An absence of a national policy on silt management has made the situation worse where most of the rivers including Ganga and Sone were choked with silt, points out Thakkar, river expert with the South Asia Network on Dams, Rivers and People (SANDRP). He said the drainage congestion and siltation in Ganga, created by Farakka barrage, led to an avoidable disaster in Bihar this year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bihar&#039;s chief minister is learnt to have raised these issues during his meeting with the Prime Minister and also linked Modi government&#039;s ambitious &#039;Namami Gange&#039; project with better silt management. He also submitted a memorandum to the Prime Minister, highlighting the problem of excessive deposit of silt. &lt;br /&gt;

Long at the receiving end due to release of water from Nepal, this time though the blame lies squarely on mismanagement of a dam and a barrage in neighbouring states of Madhya Pradesh and West Bengal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The situation has become so bad in the past four days that state chief minister Nitish Kumar on Tuesday rushed to Delhi and met Prime Minister Narendra Modi seeking his intervention to get immediate help and look for a long-lasting solution in the form of a national policy on silt management.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Bansagar dam had been accumulating water for the past over one month. But it started releasing water only when it was 95.22% full and had little capacity to store any more water. The dam authority had opened 16 of its 18 gates on August 19, releasing a huge amount of water in one go. It led to the Ganga rising to unprecedented levels in Patna and elsewhere in Bihar and UP.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Release of water from the Bansagar dam in Madhya Pradesh along the Sone in an unregulated manner has even flooded certain areas in Uttar Pradesh. &amp;quot;If Bansagar dam had not released water during this period of floods in the downstream area, the unprecedented floods in Bihar and UP could have been avoided. It shows mismanagement of the dam by Bansagar Control Board where Bihar is also a party to it along with MP and UP,&amp;quot; said environmentalist and water conservationist Himanshu Thakkar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An absence of a national policy on silt management has made the situation worse where most of the rivers including Ganga and Sone were choked with silt, points out Thakkar, river expert with the South Asia Network on Dams, Rivers and People (SANDRP). He said the drainage congestion and siltation in Ganga, created by Farakka barrage, led to an avoidable disaster in Bihar this year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bihar&#039;s chief minister is learnt to have raised these issues during his meeting with the Prime Minister and also linked Modi government&#039;s ambitious &#039;Namami Gange&#039; project with better silt management. He also submitted a memorandum to the Prime Minister, highlighting the problem of excessive deposit of silt. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please &lt;a href=&quot;http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/Poor-dam-management-responsible-for-Bihar-flood/articleshow/53835622.cms&quot; title=&quot;http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/Poor-dam-management-responsible-for-Bihar-flood/articleshow/53835622.cms&quot;&gt;click here&lt;/a&gt; to read more. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&#039;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;NEW DELHI: &lt;/em&gt;Bihar has been battling floods despite receiving less than normal rains this year. Long at the receiving end due to release of water from Nepal, this time though the blame lies squarely on mismanagement of a dam and a barrage in neighbouring states of Madhya Pradesh and West Bengal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The situation has become so bad in the past four days that state chief minister Nitish Kumar on Tuesday rushed to Delhi and met Prime Minister Narendra Modi seeking his intervention to get immediate help and look for a long-lasting solution in the form of a national policy on silt management.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Bansagar dam had been accumulating water for the past over one month. But it started releasing water only when it was 95.22% full and had little capacity to store any more water. The dam authority had opened 16 of its 18 gates on August 19, releasing a huge amount of water in one go. It led to the Ganga rising to unprecedented levels in Patna and elsewhere in Bihar and UP.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Release of water from the Bansagar dam in Madhya Pradesh along the Sone in an unregulated manner has even flooded certain areas in Uttar Pradesh. &amp;quot;If Bansagar dam had not released water during this period of floods in the downstream area, the unprecedented floods in Bihar and UP could have been avoided. It shows mismanagement of the dam by Bansagar Control Board where Bihar is also a party to it along with MP and UP,&amp;quot; said environmentalist and water conservationist Himanshu Thakkar.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An absence of a national policy on silt management has made the situation worse where most of the rivers including Ganga and Sone were choked with silt, points out Thakkar, river expert with the South Asia Network on Dams, Rivers and People (SANDRP). He said the drainage congestion and siltation in Ganga, created by Farakka barrage, led to an avoidable disaster in Bihar this year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bihar&#039;s chief minister is learnt to have raised these issues during his meeting with the Prime Minister and also linked Modi government&#039;s ambitious &#039;Namami Gange&#039; project with better silt management. He also submitted a memorandum to the Prime Minister, highlighting the problem of excessive deposit of silt. &lt;br /&gt;

The dam authority had opened 16 of its 18 gates on August 19, releasing a huge amount of water in one go. It led to the Ganga rising to unprecedented levels in Patna and elsewhere in Bihar and UP.<br />
<br />
Release of water from the Bansagar dam in Madhya Pradesh along the Sone in an unregulated manner has even flooded certain areas in Uttar Pradesh. &quot;If Bansagar dam had not released water during this period of floods in the downstream area, the unprecedented floods in Bihar and UP could have been avoided. It shows mismanagement of the dam by Bansagar Control Board where Bihar is also a party to it along with MP and UP,&quot; said environmentalist and water conservationist Himanshu Thakkar.<br />
<br />
An absence of a national policy on silt management has made the situation worse where most of the rivers including Ganga and Sone were choked with silt, points out Thakkar, river expert with the South Asia Network on Dams, Rivers and People (SANDRP). He said the drainage congestion and siltation in Ganga, created by Farakka barrage, led to an avoidable disaster in Bihar this year.<br />
<br />
Bihar's chief minister is learnt to have raised these issues during his meeting with the Prime Minister and also linked Modi government's ambitious 'Namami Gange' project with better silt management. He also submitted a memorandum to the Prime Minister, highlighting the problem of excessive deposit of silt. <br />

Poor dam management responsible for Bihar flood -Vishwa Mohan

-The Times of India NEW DELHI: Bihar has been battling floods despite receiving less than normal rains this year. Long at the receiving end due to release of water from Nepal, this time though the blame lies squarely on mismanagement of a dam and a barrage in neighbouring states of Madhya Pradesh and West Bengal. The situation has become so bad in the past four days that state chief minister Nitish Kumar on Tuesday rushed to Delhi and met Prime Minister Narendra Modi seeking his intervention to get immediate help and look for a long-lasting solution in the form of a national policy on silt management. The Bansagar dam had been accumulating water for the past over one month. But it started releasing water only when it was 95.22% full and had little capacity to store any more water. The dam authority had opened 16 of its 18 gates on August 19, releasing a huge amount of water in one go. It led to the Ganga rising to unprecedented levels in Patna and elsewhere in Bihar and UP. Release of water from the Bansagar dam in Madhya Pradesh along the Sone in an unregulated manner has even flooded certain areas in Uttar Pradesh. "If Bansagar dam had not released water during this period of floods in the downstream area, the unprecedented floods in Bihar and UP could have been avoided. It shows mismanagement of the dam by Bansagar Control Board where Bihar is also a party to it along with MP and UP," said environmentalist and water conservationist Himanshu Thakkar. An absence of a national policy on silt management has made the situation worse where most of the rivers including Ganga and Sone were choked with silt, points out Thakkar, river expert with the South Asia Network on Dams, Rivers and People (SANDRP).
