Damak sits on Nepal’s Terai plains, a flat lowland strip bordering India where the summer monsoon from June through September brings the vast majority of the year’s rainfall.
In Jhapa district’s eastern Terai, the town’s flat plains depend on effective drainage during the monsoon season. Because the Terai’s rivers flow south into India’s Bihar and Uttar Pradesh states, a wet monsoon here contributes directly to flooding on both sides of the border, and Nepal’s Department of Hydrology and Meteorology uses radar alongside river gauges to track both local rainfall and the rivers’ cross-border flow.
