The document discusses India's efforts to manage flooding through several initiatives:
1) Establishing hydrological and meteorological stations in Nepal to issue flood forecasts for both countries, with 15 sites identified for equipment and 7 more surveyed.
2) Extending flood forecasting networks in the Brahmaputra and Barak river basins, with 7 more stations planned to be operational in 1991.
3) Developing real-time data acquisition and inflow forecasting systems for the Krishna, Mahanadi, and Chambal basins using modern communication technology.
4) Modernizing the Baitarni river for data collection and forecasting under a French collaboration program.

(c) Flood proofing Rs. 440 crore. The following projections have been considered in the flood management sector: (i) The Government of India reaches a memorandum of understanding with the Nepalese-Government in March 1988. Under the agreement it was proposed to set- up 45 hydrological and hydrometerological stations in Nepal for issuing flood forecasts for Nepal and India. The joint reconnaissance teams identified 15 of these sites and the required equipment for these stations were procured and transferred to the Nepalese Government. Reconnaissance survey for seven more stations was also done during May 1990. (ii) The work of extension of flood forecasting network in the Brahmanputra and the Barak River Basins was given priority and include in the Action Plan of the Ministry of Water Resources Survey for seven more stations would be operational during 1991 flood season. (iii) Real time data acquisition and In flow forecasting system using latest metero burust communication system for Krishna, Mahanadi and Chambal basin under the Dam Safety and Rehabilitation Programme was prepared and discussed with the World Bank. (iv) Under a French Collaboration Progrmme, the River Baitarni was also proposed to be modernised for data acquisition as well as forecasting in the country.
Ganga Flood Control Commission
Ganga Flood Control Commission, Patna, established in April 1972, is primarily concerned with the preparation of a comprehensive plan for flood control in the Ganga basin and arranging its implementation in coordinated manner through the states in the basin. The commission, Anti-Water-Logging-Erosion and Anti-Erosion Schemes estimated to cost Rs. lakh each or more in the Basin Note: Courtesy Research and Reference Division Ministry of Information and Broadcasting Govt. of India
DROUGHT PRONE AREAS PROGRAMME
The Drought-Prone Areas Programme was initiated as an Integrated Area Development Programme in 1973. The programme was conceived as a long-term measure for restoration of ecological balance and optimum utilisation of land, water, livestock and human resources to mitigate the effects of ‘The drought in and ‘The drought prone areas’. The programme has three basic objectives: (i) To conserve, develop and harness land and other natural resources including rainfall with a view to improving and restoring ecological balance, (ii) To minimise adverse effects of drought on crops and livestock production through integrated development of land, water resources, and adoption of appropriate technology, (iii) To ultimately achieve drought proofing of the project area through integrating and dovetailing activities under this programme with State Sectoral Plans and Special
