Which Indian state is particularly vulnerable to flooding due to the Brahmaputra river basin?

The correct answer is - Assam Key Points Assam is one of the most flood-prone states in India. Its geography is dominated by the Brahmaputra river , which is one of the largest rivers in the world by discharge. The Brahmaputra valley is narrow, and the river carries massive amounts of sediment from the Himalayas, causing the riverbed to rise and the river to frequently change its course (braiding). During the monsoon season , heavy rainfall in the catchment areas of Tibet, Bhutan, and Northeast India leads to massive volumes of water entering the valley, consistently exceeding the river's capacity. Flooding in Assam affects millions of people annually, destroying crops, infrastructure, and impacting the Kaziranga National Park . Additional Information Other flood-prone states include Bihar (Kosi river), West Bengal , and coastal states like Andhra Pradesh . Management in Assam involves a mix of embankments (structural) and satellite-based monitoring for early warnings (non-structural). The Brahmaputra Board is a statutory body under the Government of India created specifically to manage the river basin.
