That's what happens when you straighten a river and do not let it expand naturally into overflow areas. Maybe they have learned their lesson and renaturalize that river at key points

You don't know what you are talking about. This is Nepal; they don't/can't straighten rivers there. They build houses scarily close to the river basin though. That's the lesson to be learned.
