Chao Phraya Dam increases discharge rate again, 11 provinces warned of rising waters
Today 09:46Key points summarised by AI
The Royal Irrigation Department (RID) increased the Chao Phraya Dam's water discharge to 2,200m3/s, issuing flood warnings for 11 downstream provinces.
Water levels are expected to rise by 20-60cm in affected areas within 24 hours, driven by continuous northern run-off and local rainfall.
Residents in low-lying areas, particularly in Chai Nat, are evacuating and moving belongings to higher ground, with some districts already experiencing inundation.
The escalated discharge aims to alleviate upstream flooding, and officials advise all riverside residents to secure valuables and monitor official announcements closely.
