Floodwater erodes Mae Pongphan dyke

FLOODWATER has eaten away the riverbank next to the controversial Mae Pongphan Pattana dyke, making it unable to hold water from upstream despite the fact it was only built a week ago.

 

Photos of the eroded riverbank circulated on social media Friday, showing that water from the stream had created a hole about a metre wide.

what did you expect from a 7,000 baht dyke ?

[GinBoy2]

Oh you gotta laugh...the name sign and the associated 'ceremony' probably cost more than the dyke!

Why not just stick a finger or 3 in the dyke  ( she might like it )

Beavers could do better.

Of course,This would be the correct example of Thai engineering. The contractors get paid to put a few million into the project but use only a few hundred thousand is used, pocketing the rest along with kick backs.This is the normal results.
