    Solution

    The Kosi River, often called the “Sorrow of Bihar,” causes devastating floods annually in the region. It originates in the Himalayas and flows through Nepal into Bihar. This river changes its course frequently, causing damage to property and agricultural land. The floods are primarily due to sediment deposition and the lack of a stable course.
