The flood situation in several north-eastern provinces is expected to improve during early November, as the water level in the Mun River in Ubon Ratchathani Province has been stable for three consecutive days and the flow into the Mekong River is improving, according to Ubon Ratchathani Governor Chonlatee Youngtrong.

 

The level of the Mun River was measured at 11.51 metres at 6am today (Friday) at the Democracy Bridge in Ubon Ratchathani, which is higher than the 10.97 metres recorded in 2019, but still lower than the record high in 1978, which was measured at 12.76 metres, said the governor.

 

Meanwhile, the level of the Mekong River in Khong Chiam District has dropped by 7cm today and the water level is 5.33 metres below its bank on the Thai side, allowing water to flow from the Mun River into the Mekong River at a rate of 7,018m3/sec or 606 million cubic metres per day.

Improving floods?

Are they hoping for improvements in water to make it less wet?
