About 1987 Bihar Flood
The 1987 Bihar flood, caused by high levels of annual flooding of the Kosi River, was one of the worst floods in Bihar, India, in a decade caused by a landslide that blocked the main route of Bhote Kosi River. This resulted from chunks of earth falling into the river; thus, building a dam approximately 1 km in length.
