BANGKOK (TNA) – The water situation in the Chao Phraya River Basin has continued to rise steadily, prompting efforts to release water from the Chao Phraya Dam to accommodate additional water inflow from the north.

People living near the Chao Phraya River and its tributaries are advised to closely monitor the situation.

In the Chao Phraya River Basin, rainfall in the upper areas has led to an increased flow of water into the Chao Phraya River.

The Royal Irrigation Department is managing the water flow upstream of the Chao Phraya Dam by diverting it into the irrigation system on the west and east sides of the dam and releasing water downstream from the Chao Phraya Dam.

In the northern region, accumulated rainfall in the upper provinces has led to flooding in certain areas of Phichit province. Some agricultural areas have been submerged, affecting a wide area, and even residential areas in Phoprathapchang district have been inundated.
