Songkhla and Trang still suffering from floods

 

 

SONGKHLA: -- Vast areas in some southern provinces are still submerged although overall situation of flooding in the South starts to improve.

 

Residents in some areas of Songkhla and Trang provinces are still stranded at homes surrounded by deep water.

 

In Songkhka, the draining of flood water from the Songkhla Lake through a natural pathway located between Songkhla and Patthalung provinces into the Gulf of Thailand faces difficulties due to dense forests and high soil ridges, thus obstructing fast water flow.

 

Local authorities have now reported their findings to concerned agencies, in order for those agencies to immediately solve the problem, such as the dredging of  a new waterway to help drain out more excess water.

 

In Trang province, Kantang, Huay Yod, Wang Wiset, and Muang are still under 2-3 metres deep of flood water, with hundreds of households inundated to the roof.
