The Nonthaburi municipal administration has built a new flood wall, using over 300,000 sand bags stretching overabout 10kms parallel to the Chao Phraya River, to protect the economic zone in Muang district from river overflows.

 

Charin Sinsa-nguan, chief the public disaster prevention and mitigation office in Nonthaburi, said today (Monday) that the new flood wall will also protect the district’s clock tower and drainage system, to prevent water from the swollen river fromseeping into the inner economic zone.

 

He also explained that the new flood wall is necessary to prevent a repeat of the flooding of about three days ago.

Pretty sure with Thailand's open drains this will be totally useless
