E. Somanathan (Professor from Indian Statistical Institute) and Rohini Somanathan
In this project, we came across many climatic tit-bits. As flood is the main cause of climatic change and everybody knows about the flood in Kosi River at Bihar during August-September 2008. Researchers studied the flood-affected areas in Bihar (A state of India, where about 80 percent population is living in rural areas).
MORSEL had done a survey along the Kosi River’s new course. Researchers selected 10 villages along the new course of the river, situated approximately 14.5 Kms away from each other. MORSEL was involved from pilot survey to final data entry. Researchers are planning to go to the same village in 2010 to find the changes
