Usable Water Levels in Dams

The following Link shows the water level and more critically the usable water level in each Dam.

14% usable water in the North at the start of the dry season seems a big problem.

A lot of these dams are also hydropower plants.Water in,water out to create electricity.

Where the water goes i have no idea but you cannot have power and full dams.

This not only creates problems here but Laos as well.

They sell thailand hydro power and thailand sells them back what it doesn't use.

For the last two years i know of it has forced some industries in Laos to scale back or shutdown for up to a month.

They will expect more this year.

And don't be surprised if there's a lot of blackouts in thailand later on.
