snoop1130 Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 The flooding in Thailand’s central province of Sukhothai is attributable to areas upstream of the province being affected by monsoon troughs since late September, causing heavy rainfall in the Yom River basin, according to Thaweesak Thanadechophol, deputy director-general of the Royal Irrigation Department (RID). Because the Yom River is narrow and not very deep, the swollen river quickly overtopped its banks, which led to the collapse of embankments in several locations, sending water sweeping through many villages in Sukhothai province, he told Thai PBS Online today. About 4,000 households have been affected by flooding and more than 16,000 hectares farmland have been damaged.
