BANGKOK, May 25 (TNA) – The Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation has warned people in seven northeastern provinces that the Mekong River will rise on May 25 and 26. 

 

The warning followed the report from the Office of the National Water Resources that heavy rains measured 250 millimeters in Laos and the discharge rate at the Nam Ou dam in Laos was increased from 500 cubic meters per second to 2,400 cubic meters per second.

The flow through the Xayaburi dam was thus expected at 6,600 cubic meters per second and that would affect the level of the Mekong River.
