बिहार में बागमती नदी का बहुत कम ही हिस्सा है, जिस पर तटबंध नहीं बना है और मुक्त बहाव है। मुजफ्फरपुर जिले के इस हिस्से के किसान राज्य सरकार के उस प्रस्ताव के खिलाफ हैं, जिसमें सरकार इस मुक्त हिस्से में भी तटबंध बनाना चाहती है। उन्हें डर है कि इससे क्षेत्र में बाढ़ के हालात और बदतर होंगे व उनके खेतों को और नुकसान होगा।

Around 73% of Bihar’s total geographical area is prone to floods as plains of the state, which are close to Nepal, are drained by a number of rivers that have their catchments in the Himalayas of Nepal. These rivers and their tributaries carry high levels of discharge and sediment load, which are deposited on the plains of Bihar thus causing floods

As the population of the Ganges river dolphins declined alarmingly, a 60-kilometre stretch along the river in Bihar's Bhagalpur district was notified as Vikramshila Gangetic Dolphin Sanctuary in 1991. But, three decades later, the endangered species continues to face the threat of extinction and in the last six months three dolphins were found dead in the sanctuary.
