Water level in Lam Takong dam has dropped to the lowest point in 10 years

 

NAKHON RATCHASIMA:-- The Royal Rain-making and Agricultural Aviation Department has stepped up cloud-seeding efforts since October 15 with the hope of adding more water into dams in Nakhon Ratchasima, especially the Lam Takong dam where water level has dropped to the lowest point in 10 years.

 

Over 30 cloud-seeding flights have been launched each day so that there may be rains in Nakhon Ratchasima to fill up the dams which are now running short of water.

 

Lam Takong dam now has 33 percent usable water which is the lowest level in a decade whereas the Lam Phra Ploeng dam in Pak Thongchai district and Lam Sae dam have 40 percent and 46 percent of usable water respectively.
