- In August 2008 the eastern afflux bund breached at Kusaha, 12 km upstream of the Kosi barrage, and the river abruptly avulsed roughly 120 km eastward into a paleochannel it had abandoned about a century earlier, inundating districts that were nominally "away" from the river, displacing on the order of three million people
This sourceSinha's account of the 18 August 2008 Kosi avulsion, which gives the breach of the eastern afflux bund at Kusaha 12 km upstream of the Kosi barrage and the river's roughly 120 km eastward shift into a paleochannel abandoned about a century earlier, against the two preceding centuries of dominantly westward migration across the megafan.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
