91,817 hectares of land in provinces in the Yom, Nan, Chao Phraya, Pasak, Tha Chin and Bang Pakong river basins are currently submerged, including 14,943 hectares of farm land, according to the Geo-Informatics and Space Technology Development Agency (GISTDA).

 

The worst-flooded areas are in Nakhon Sawan, Phichit, Sukhothai, Phitsanuloke and Ayutthaya provinces.

 

GITSDA said that it has supplied the information, plus satellite images of the flooded areas, to relevant agencies so they can make use of them for proper water management.

Is it not wonderful to see, how precise some offices work and spill the detailed exact number of acres and yards within days of a deluge?
Explains the wise farsightedness of the government with their three submarines; maybe start training oarsmen in time so once the subs arrive they can also be maneuvered around upto Phitsanulok and Nakorn Sawan .... 
Every year the same melody, some years more than others, depending on who sits at the watergates of water dams .........

Proper water management would prevent flooding... not using satellite photos to see where the floods are.

But the trees are already gone.  It would take decades to grow them back.
