This flood in bihar is no tsunami. No matter what precautions you take, other than building a strong 20 foot concrete wall all along the cost, a tsunami is unpredictable and hence un-defendable. A shakeup in the ocean floor displacing millions of gallons of water is a monstrous happening.
This flood however is a comparatively small re-occuring thing! It happens every year with regularity. This is nothing a well placed dam cant solve. I am surprised that we have not tamed a river after 60 years of trying!

Very true where there is a will there is a way, and where there is no will there is a hill. If you build a dam how will all the politicians share the crores of rupees which come as aid from the Centre. The poor are helpless and the politicians helpful, but only towards themselves. Jai Hind
