SI SA KET: -- Officials on Monday opened higher the water gates of the Rasi Salai dam in Si Sa Ket to accelerate the release of water in anticipation of floodwaters from upstream northeastern provinces.

 

Officials said they have now raised several water gates by an additional 1.5 metres to a total 2.5-metre height. Water could now flow out at the rate of 605 cubic metres per second.

 

By Monday morning, the water from the river upstream was flowing to the dam in Si Sa Ket’s Rasi Salai district at the rate of 45.4 million cubic metres per day. The rate is expected to rise to some 53.1 million cubic metres later in the day.

 

The dam will receive floodwaters from Nakhon Ratchasima, Buri Ram, Surin and Roi Et.

So the flooding down river from these dams will only get worse for sure. Good luck to those

who live downstream from this dam, and other dams that open their flood gates.

We in Ubon Ratchathani will receive all the water from the opening of these dams., Rasi Sali, Lao Pao, Ubon Rat. I expect the waters to arrive in 8-10 days time. There may be a small break in mid August, but once more heavy rain storms come through in late August-early September, more water will be released.
