Priority River Basins Flood Risk Management Project

The priority river basins flood risk management project will improve the resilience of communities to flooding in six river basins in the Terai region in Nepal. It is in line with Nepal's National Water Plan, 2002-2027 to reduce social and economic losses from water-induced disasters through blending structural and nonstructural measures. The project will protect agricultural land and households in priority areas from a 1-in-50-year return period flood by constructing flood embankments, spurs, and outlet structures. The local response to flooding will be strengthened through the development installation of flood forecasting and early warning systems (FFEWSs) and community-based disaster risk management (CBDRM).
