Journal of the Indian institute of architects :(JIIA)Summary: Every year millions of people throughout the world become
homeless due to the destruction of houses by floods. Floods are
synonyms of chaos in public life, causing loss of public order and
putting safety of the public at great risk. In India, Bihar has to face
severity of flood every year and till date there is no proper way out
formulated for ensuring the safety of human lives and valuables.
Flood-resilient architecture has become an exigent character
of the affined approach towards the management of flood threats.
This will educate us to stay along with water and nature, giving it
proper space to flourish, with minimal impairment to the residents
and their valuables. Sadly, there is a lack of implementation with
proper analysis of the flood-affected area in Indian states. The
topic of this paper addresses an old and widespread concern, but
there has been no active, concrete or futuristic work regarding this
in the Kosi region of Bihar. This study deals with the worldwide
problem of every low-lying area, specifically concentrating upon
the flood plain of the Kosi river. A sudden surge of water from the
Shivalik range through Nepal causes heavy destruction in this area
and life becomes very miserable for its residents. The government
cuts a sorry figure, though it spends crores and crores annually in
the form of relief funds, repairs and reconstructions.
This paper deals with the introduction about Climate Adaptive
Neighbourhoods (CAN) projects and the background of the flood
severity in Bihar, literature review, methodology, case studies to
achieve a workable solution, and by these results, recommendations
and conclusions are achieved.
