webfact Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Irrigation officials have been advised by Thailand’s Office of the National Water Resources (ONWR) to manage the discharge of excess water from Thailand’s 20 major dams and reservoirs properly, to reduce impacts on downstream communities and farm land, as they are in danger of overflowing due to heavy rain. The officials were also instructed to warn people living downstream of the dams to brace for the possible impacts ofthe discharge of huge volumes of excess water, to ease pressure on the dams. The dams and reservoirs in danger of overflowing, listed by the ONWR, are: • In the northern region: Mae Mok, Kwae Noi BumrungDaen and Thap Salao dams • In the Northeast: Ubol Ratana, Chulabhorn, Lam Takong, Lam Phra Phloeng, Lam Mun Bon, Lam Sae, Lam Nang Rong and Sirindhorn dams. • In the central region: Pasak Jolasid and Kra Siew dams. • In the eastern region: Khun Dan Prakan Chon and Naruebodindrachinda dams and Nong Pla Lai reservoir. • In western region: Srinagarind, Vajiralongkorn, Kaeng Krachan and Pran Buri dams.

MrJ2U Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Might have been easier to report which dams won't be overflowing. This guy is going to bring more precipitation in the North East. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
