Sukhothai floodwall to be reinforced with 50,000 sandbags

 

The Sukhothai provincial administration organisation (PAO) has prepared 50,000 sandbags to reinforce the flood prevention wall after holes previously found on it have been plugged.

 

Pansiri Kulnatsiri, president of the Sukhothai PAO, said the holes on the flood prevention wall in front of Wat Thai Chumphol have been fixed while the amount of floodwater in the municipality area has dropped.

 

However, as it is still in the rainy season and water in the Yom river passing Sukhothai may rise again, it is necessary to take measures to cope with it.

The report before on Suk said flood water coming on a Friday and so it did,  l've never seen before that amount come before.

Thursday the Yom river was a stream,  Friday aft it had risen in a 50 metre width part 20 metre high aprox but not in a torrent way like before.
