Flood Management Policy and (Re)Production of Socio-Spatial Inequalities in the Koshi plain: Nepalese eastern Terai and northern Indian Bihar

Flood Management Policy and (Re)Production of Socio-Spatial Inequalities in the Koshi plain: Nepalese eastern Terai and northern Indian Bihar

Floods have forever been a challenge to human societies that have more or less adapted to them. In this respect, the southern Himalayan foothills no doubt represent the greatest challenge to humans due to a combination of factors such as: the force and irregularity of the flow; the strength of this...
