People living upstream of Chao Phraya Dam advised to brace for rising river

Today 09:46Key points summarised by AI

The Royal Irrigation Department (RID) will reduce water discharge downstream from the Chao Phraya Dam to ease impacts, which will cause water levels upstream to rise.
Residents in Nakhon Sawan, Uthai Thani, and Chai Nat, located upstream, are advised to prepare for increased river levels and move valuables to higher ground.
The RID will monitor the situation closely, aiming to keep the upstream Chao Phraya River depth at 18 meters or less, as continuous rain increases inflow to 2,400m3/s.
