It is bordered by Nepal to the north, Uttar Pradesh to the west, Jharkhand to the south, and West Bengal to the east. The state has a population of over 100 million people, making it the third most populous state in India.<\/p>\n<p>Bihar is a water-stressed state. The average annual rainfall in the state is about 1,000 mm. However, the rainfall is unevenly distributed, with some areas receiving much more rain than others. The state also has a number of rivers, including the Ganges, the Son, and the Gandak.<\/p>\n<p>The water resources of Bihar are shared with neighboring states. This has led to a number of inter-state river disputes. The most famous of these is the dispute over the sharing of the waters of the Ganges. The dispute has been going on for decades, and it has been a major source of tension between Bihar and Uttar Pradesh.<\/p>\n<p>Increasing water demand is another major challenge for Bihar. The state&#8217;s population is growing rapidly, and this is putting a strain on the state&#8217;s water resources.
