Ganga, Gandak, Gomti, Ghaghra, Ramganga, Son and Yamuna in which 38 districts are prone to recurring floods. Major audit findings relating to performance audit of Flood Control are discussed below: Financial management was inadequate as against the budgetary provisions of RS 3,938.11 crore only RS 2,452.17 crore (62 per cent) was spent while RS 1,485.94 crore (38 per cent) was surrendered.

The Government of Uttar Pradesh did not prepare the required long range basin-wise and region-wise master plans. Various structural and non-structural measures for long term flood control as suggested by Rashtriya Barh Ayog; Ganga Flood Control Commission; Central Water Commission; and Planning Commission, Government of India were not adopted. Flood control works, mainly anti-erosion works, were planned without conducting any detailed and holistic hydrological and morphological studies, which led to execution of anti-erosion works repeatedly on the same/adjacent sites.
