- 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.
