Residents in three districts of Ayutthaya Province, and those living along canals, were advised to move their valuables to higher ground quickly, after an irrigation road and embankment partially collapsed last night.

 

About a 5-metre stretch of the irrigation road near the Chao Chet sluice gate caved in, allowing water from a swollen Noi River to gush into the Chao Chet-Bang Yeehon Canal and onwards into areas in Sena, Bang Sai and Lat Bua Luang districts.

 

Ayutthaya Governor Niwat Rungsakhon said, last night, that a huge drainage pipe had been installed beneath the irrigation road by the Royal Irrigation Department.

Too many water departments, far too many chiefs, not enough indians with not enough overall knowledge and no overall communications with each other, let alone provinces up and down stream.

 

As an example. The RID decides that the dam in the North is getting a bit full, opens the sluice gates a bit until the water level is about right, brings the sluices back and his problem is solved.

 

Absolutely correct, HIS problem IS solved.

 

This goes on  all the way down stream to Bangkok. who have no control over how much comes down to them.
