Situation following floods to return to normal in mid-November – ONWR

[webfact]

 

The situation following the floods in Thailand’s north-eastern, northern and central regions is expected to return to normal in mid-November, while the level of flooding is steadily falling as the country is approaches the annual cold and dry season, according to a forecast by the Office of National Water Resources.

 

ONWR Secretary-General Surasee Kittimonthon said yesterday (Saturday) that the volumes of water being discharged through the Chao Phraya Dam, in central province of Chai Nat, and the Ubol Ratana Dam, in the north-eastern province of Khon Kaen, have been steadily reduced, which will ease flooding in downstream areas.

 

He said that overflows on the western side of the Chao Phraya River have been flowing through Muang, Pho Thong and Wiset Chai Chan districts of Ang Thong Province, towardsthe Noi River and into water retention areas in Pak Hai and Pa Moke districts of Ayutthaya Province.

Is ANYTHING ever normal in this part of the world???

There's the answer to all Thailand's flood problems - just wait a month till the dry season.

The river level is definitely dropping here in northern BKK, slowly, but it is dropping.

 

We now have lots of mud rather than lots of water!

 

Of course, there are high tides later this week!!

That's good news, now the office of disaster prevention and mitigation can go back to sleep.
