Riverside residents in Kanchanaburi told to brace for possible flooding

 

 

Kanchanaburi’s riverside residents have been told to move their belongings to higher grounds in anticipation of possible flooding after three dams in this western province increased water drainage downstream.

 

Kanchanaburi governor Chirakiart Poomsawat sent an urgent circular to all district offices informing them of the need of the three dams, Srinagarind, Vajiralongkorn and Mae Klong to drain more water out of the dams due to rising water level from rains.

 

Srinagarind and Vajiralongkorn dams have increased the amount of water to be drained out to 20 and 40 million cubic metres a day respectively while Mae Klong which receives water from the two dams has increased water drainage to 60 million cubic metres a day.

The PM told us flooding wouldn't happen, it was all under control. Should I surrender myself to volunteer as today's Punch In The Face recipient?

 

Ed: Shurely shome mishtake?

you don't remember last year.  "There is no flooding just water that needs to be removed."
