webfact Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 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.

Crossy Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 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!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's good news, now the office of disaster prevention and mitigation can go back to sleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
