The regions of North Eastern U.P. and Bihar situated in the Terai region of Himalayas have a nearly homogeneous situation. Though the area of Northeast U.P. and Bihar do not have dams but they have other similar structures for water management such as embankments built along river coasts. Having a network of rivers, with dams and embankments, resulting in the situation of water logging, water locking floods in an area with very high population density result in a complex problem which people face in this area and which apart from other economic factors make the fruits of development inaccessible in many ways. The increased structural solutions to the above problems such as construction of embankments to check floods and canals for irrigation and other such mechanisms have also served to increase the disaster level and widen the impact of the problems.
