This study explored and analyzed that how flood disaster frequently occurred in the Kishanganj districts of Bihar. In this Study, I have selected an objective of “To Temporal Analysis of Flood-2017 Disaster in Kishanganj Districts, Bihar”. Kishanganj district is highly prone to Flood disasters in terms of both like, spatial and temporal. Temporal dimension includes how frequent flood is occurring in the district like, annually or more than once in the year. Kishanganj district occupies an area of 1884 km square and situated along the foothills of Himalaya and located in the north eastern portion of Bihar state, between 25°20' and 26°30' north latitudes and 87°7' and 88°19' east longitudes. In this district several major rivers are flowing like Mahananda, Kankai, Mechi, Donk, Ratua, Ramzan and Sudhani. In this study primary data sources used like, News Paper, District yearly record book, questionnaire and observation. Both the Methodology used for this analysis is Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) in which more focuses is given on to assess and analysed the entire possible impacts of flood disasters in the district with the help of local rural people to draw best possible findings. In this study temporal trend of flood disasters are divided into three broad categories based on the aspects like annual, monthly and diurnal. In this study as finding following results are drawn like Kishanganj district is highly prone to flood and it is affecting entire district functions in every year and more than once in the year. As a conclusion of this study we come to know that Flood is having tremendous number of negative impacts in the district which is leads to affect entire population of the district directly and indirectly with minor positives like increase in flood plains, new alluvial soil etc.
