How much of this excess water is being captured in order to alleviate concerns about the supply of drinking water in Bangkok?

We've just had the DPM saying the floods won't be as bad as 2011, well maybe he could have to eat his words.  Mother Nature has a way of making pompous people look very silly.

Looks like 2011 again. The dams are full and huge storms on the horizon. Mismanagement starting in earnest in Ayutthaya and Ang Thong. Even the mightiest mouths can't stop mother nature. Hope they learn by now.
