Flood woes caused by dam overflow in Suphan Buri province

[webfact]

 

Many households and low-lying areas located along the Tha Chin River, in Thailand’s central province of Suphan Buri, are submerged after excess water overflowed the spillways of the Krasiao Dam into the already swollen waterway.

 

Described as the worst in the province in a decade, provincial officials attributed the current flooding to water discharges from the Chao Phraya Dam in Chainat province, continuing heavy rain in the province and runoffs from the swollen Krasiao reservoir.

 

The provincial administration has warned riverside residents in Nong Ya Sai, Derm Bang Nang Buat, Sam Chook, Sriprachan, Muang, Bang Pla Ma, U Thong and Song Phi Nong districts to brace for further flooding from the overflowing Tha Chin River.
