Phra Ram 6 Dam issues a red flag warning due to increased water discharge (647.25m3/s) above critical levels, alerting residents along the Pasak River and downstream low-lying areas, particularly in Ayutthaya, to potential flooding and rising water levels (1-1.2 meters).
The surge in discharge is necessitated by the Pasak Chonlasit Dam exceeding its capacity (102.27%) and anticipating substantial water inflow (370 million m3) in the coming week, requiring controlled release to manage reservoir levels.
Water flows from Pasak Chonlasit Dam through Phra Ram 6 Dam before merging with the Chao Phraya River in Ayutthaya, with the Royal Irrigation Department aiming to maintain Chao Phraya Dam discharge at 2,000m3/s amidst rising river levels upstream.
