BANGKOK: -- As more rains are expected throughout this week, current flooding in several provinces located in the Chao Phraya River basin, especially along irrigation canals and levees, are expected to deteriorate after the Chao Phraya Dam now is forced to reduce its water load in preparation for runoff from the north.

 

Now the situation in many provinces is approaching crisis level.

 

Nakhon Sawan is the recent province hard-hit by overflows from the north directly after Phichit and Kamphaeng Phet provinces.

 

As of the present, provincial authorities have declared four districts as flood disaster zones.

 

There are reports of floodwater bursting levees and flooding homes in Talad Mai community located within Nakhon Sawan municipality forcing residents to evacuate their homes and take temporary refuge along old unused railway tracks.

 

Also in Ang Thong province where worrying reports coming in of waters springing up from the bottom of the Rieng Hin Dam and flooding villages in Jampa Lor sub-district in Ang Thong municipality under more than 60 cm of water.

 

The flooding situation in Phong Pheng district meanwhile is getting worse with many areas reporting flood of almost 1 meter depth.

 

Ayuthaya province is similarly bad with flooding being reported in many areas.

 

The municipal market in Sena municipality is now being flooded after water from the Mae Nam Noi river burst its banks.
