Overflowing dyke following heavy rains hits 600 families

At least 600 families in northeastern Chaiyaphum’s Bamnet Narong district have been hit by flooding following torrential rains that caused an irrigation dyke to overflow.

 

Local authorities said rains unleashed by the tropical storm Talas caused the water level in Pakchan and Lam Khanchu canals to rise. 

The irrigation dyke downstream from the canals overflowed from their combined water. 

 

The water has inundated houses and some 5,000 rai (800 hectares) of farmland in some areas since Friday evening. The local officials said the water further rose late at night to affect houses in other areas.
