EGAT deputy governor Prasertsak Cherngchawano said that the discharge rate would be increased to 54 million cubic meters of water per day during the period as the dam held as much as 3.21 billion cubic meters of water, equivalent to 132% of its capacity.

RichardColeman Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 EGAT reported possible impacts to people and government organizations in all affected provinces beforehand and people were advised to move belongings to higher grounds. I am sure those people will be thankful for the advice and not f'ing and blinding at the dam owners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
