Flood In Thailand

Villagers fishing on their boat near the Chao Phraya Dam in Chai Nat province north of Bangkok on August 27 2024.. This is because the dam has released water from heavy flooding in northern Thailand. People living near waterways in 11 provinces of the Chao Phraya river basin including Bangkok are being warned of rising water levels due to the deluge of runoff arriving from the North. The department expected the flow of the Chao Phraya River to rise to 1 400 cubic metres per second in Nakhon Sawan and 1 700 cubic metres per second at the Chao Phraya barrage dam downstream in adjoining Chai Nat province on Friday. Therefore the department had to discharge water from the dam in the range of 900-1 400 cubic metres per second. The discharge rate was 917 cubic metres per second there on Tuesday morning up from 700 cubic metres per second on Monday.
