Doubtful statements
"several acres" of cropland lost? 2.4 acres = 1 hectare. That would hardly be newsworthy!
With water as far as the eye can see, there must be hundreds thousands hectares of cropland drowned. Do the math. The Koshi's record flow is roughly 25,000 cubic meters/second. Even if it's only flowing at 10,000 this time, that will put one hectare a meter deep per second. That's 86,400 hectares every 24 hours, and this flood started on August 18.

"The nexus of the Bihar Flood is the Koshi River's immense alluvial fan extending some 180 km from the river's exit from the Himalayas and foothills in Nepal down to its confluence with the Ganges in Bihar." - What is the meaning of 'nexus' over here ?
