The details of  damages  caused  by  floods  across  the  country  State - wise s  per  the  data  available  with  Central  W ater Commission during the year 2015, 2016 and 2017 are at Axxexure-I

- (c) &  (d)In order to assess the extent of coastal erosion at national level, a Shoreline Change Atl coast,  has  been  prepared  by  Space  Application  Centre,  Ahmedabad in  association  with  Central  Water Commission (CWC), funded by then Ministry of Water Resources, River Development & Ganga Rejuvenatio This Atlas comprises of shoreline change maps prepared using satellite data of different timefram scale f or the entire country. The maps show eroding, stable and accreting coast along with the sta protection measures taken up by maritime States/UTs.

Ministry  of  Earth  |Sciences  through  National  Centre  for  Coastal  Research,  Chennai  is  moni he shoreline  changes  along  Indian  coast  on  annual  basis,  which  provides  information  on  coastal district level in 1:25,000 scale. So far, 26 years data from 1990 to 2016 has been analysed ~33% of mainland coastline is subjected to erosion. Over all, during 1990 to 2016, about 231.50 sq. k land is gained by accretion and 234.25 sq.km land was lost by erosion along the Indian mainland. The St -wise status of sea erosion (1990 - 2016) along the Indian Co astis as given in Annexure II

(e) and (f)   The subject of flood management including erosion control being w ithin the purview of the States , the flood management and anti - erosion schemes are planned, investigated and implemented by State  Go vernments  with  their  own  resourc es as  per  priority  within  the  State.  The  Union  Governme supplements the efforts of the States by way of technical guidance and promotional financial the States for flood management in critical areas.

This  centrally  sponsored  scheme  along  with  three merged together and a  restructured  scheme  namely  'Flood  Management  Programme  (FMP)'  under  State Sector  in  Central  plan  was  launched  in XI  plan  peri od  for  provi ding  central  assistance  to  the  Stat G overnments  for  taking  up  works  related  to  river  management, flood  control , anti - erosion , , drainage development , flood proofing works , restoration of damaged flood management works and anti - sea erosion works  which  was  continued  during  XII plan. A    scheme  viz.'Flood  Management  and  Border  Areas Programme (FMBAP) for flood management works in entire country and River Management activitie works related to B order Areas with an outlay of Rs . 3342 crores is un der implementation during 2017 - 18 to 2019- 20.

Ministry  of  Environment,  Forests  &  Climate  Change  ( MoEF  &  CC)  is  implementing  Inte grated  Coastal Zone Management (ICZM) project in the identified coastal stretches of three States na mely Gujarat, Odisha and West Bengal. Under this Project , MoEF & CC has mapped shoreline changes through National Centre for  Sustainable  Coastal  Management  (NCSCM),  Chennai  in  association  with  the  Institute  fo Management  (IOM),  Anna  University,  Chennai  and  designated  high  ero sion,  medium  erosion,  low erosion/stable coast along Coast of India.

Mapping  and  demarcation  of  Hazard  line  along  the  mainland  of  the  Indian  coast  is  one  of initiatives to control and protect the coastal lives, infrastructures from natural hazar ds like storm, tsunami and cyclone which is carried out by survey of india as an activity of national component of I The hazard line is the composite lines of the erosion line and flood line. Hazard line will be management tool in the area of coastal management. The work of mapping and delineation of hazard completed.
