webfact Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Pathum Thani braces for possible floodsPATHUM THANI, 3 July 2014 (NNT) - Irrigation officials in Pathum Thani Province are bracing for northern run-off and possible floods coming in its wake.Authorities at the Chulalongkorn Watergate in Thanyaburi District are installing more water pumps in anticipation of massive water volume flowing downstream to the station which is in the frontline to absorb the water before it enters the eastern part of Bangkok and is diverted into the Chao Phraya.Irrigation officials said aside from installing additional water pumps, they have erected water barriers to prevent run-off from entering the capital as well.A total of 24 additional water pumps are being installed at the Chulalongkorn Watergate with a combined capacity of pumping 9 million cubic meters of water per day.The head of the Irrigation office in the province has instructed related officials to closely monitor the water level in Rangsit Canal and to provide reports to the provincial administrative body on a continuous basis.-- NNT 2014-07-03 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kkerry Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 There have been several dredging projects in Rangsit Canal after the 2011 flood, removing a lot of the plant growth which clogged up the canal but right now in many parts it is looking very much like it did pre the 2011 flood...

OnTheRun Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 I know a fella who has a few dozen of these. he would probably rent them for a small token, Mr Plod, got them for a good price. Is this the MkII version of the outboard motor water moving system proposed by one of Yingluk's disciples? Also is that the MkI version sitting on the left?
