This research paper examines the occurrence and impacts of floods in Sitamarhi district, Bihar, covering the period 2000–2024. Sitamarhi, located in the Bagmati–Adhwara basin, experiences recurring floods that disrupt agriculture, livelihoods, and health. Using data from the Water Resources Department (WRD), Central Water Commission (CWC), Bihar State Disaster Management Authority (BSDMA), and peer-reviewed studies, the paper provides a chronology of flood events and assesses their socio-economic impacts. The results show that embankments and structural measures offer temporary relief but often fail due to breaches and sedimentation. The study recommends a resilience-oriented approach combining structural measures with community-based early-warning systems, nature-based solutions, and long-term adaptation strategies.
