Collectively, both pumps can transfer up to 10,000 liters of water per minute.

 

KRABI: -- The Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation (DDPM) Krabi began draining water from about 50 rai of land yesterday morning, after heavy rains in Khao Kram sub-district flooded a mosque, a house and a road in the area.

The water level was measured to be 1.5 meters deep, and sometimes goes up to two meters during periods of heavy rainfall.

“We tried to drain the affected areas as quickly as possible,” said Krabi DDPM chief Paisarn Kunsri. “We only just procured two drainage pumps from DDPM 18 and installed one on Saturday and the other one yesterday.”
