WorldWhy Nepal floods should worry India

Devastating floods on Nepal’s border with Tibet have killed more than 1,000 people and exposed risks that cross into India. Experts say the two countries share an increasingly volatile Himalayan river system: Nepal’s rainfall largely shapes peak flows at the border, while flooding’s severity also depends heavily on Indian rainfall, river levels, embankments, drainage and development. Bihar faces the greatest exposure, followed by Uttar Pradesh.
