The National Commission on Floods (Rashtriya Barh Ayog) Government of India (1980) laid great stress on proper flood management for the specific problems of the Ganga and the Brahmputra by adopting a suitable blend of structural and non-structural measures based on long term strategy with time and cost effectiveness. Flood Plain Zoning aims to regulate the indiscriminate and unplanned development in flood plains. It is relevant both for unprotected as well as protected areas. Hydrological and hydro meterological data from 175 flood forecasting stations located in different river basins of the country are collected, analysed and then forecasts issued for the benefit of state governments and general public. The Ministry of Agriculture, Government of India has also initiated a pilot scheme for crop insurance in the flood-affected areas. - Reproduced.
