PHUKET: Phuket Vice Governor Wongsakorn Nunchukan yesterday inspected the new floodgate installed on Klong Katha in Chalong as part of the current campaign to ensure all waterways across the island are clear of debris to prevent flooding during the rainy season.

 

The floodgate, located in Moo 3, Chalong, was completed last year at a cost B139 million, and included a pumphouse and shoring up two kilometres of the canal’s banks with concrete.

 

The floodgate is to be closed during high tide to prevent sea water from stopping the outflow of the canal, and water will be pumped from the canal to the seabound side of the floodgate when water levels in the canal are high.

Have to love their positiveness....they "hope" the gate stops flooding....no studies or research done to ensure they work? Just someones intuition and of course, position making flimsy, expensive doomed to fail decisions.....!

The Governor said there was no shortage of water.  Guess he was correct.
