Ramganga, the Gomti, the Sharda, the Ghaghra, the Rapti and the
Gandak. The rainfall increases from west to east and from south
to north .Similar is the pattern of floods ,the problem increases
from west to east and south to north. Out of the 240.93 lakh hectares
geographical area of the State about 73.06 lakh hectares is flood
prone.
The
Government of Uttar Pradesh has issued the revised CRF guidelines
on 31st July, 2007 , where in relief measures have been declared,
but at the field level there was hardly any knowledge about these
guidelines, hence UPVAN has got printed sufficient number of copies
and got distributed the same in the affected areas through its
