RID reassures public on water management

Today 15:22 Key points summarised by AI

The Royal Irrigation Department (RID) assures the public that water discharges from the Chao Phraya and Pasak Jolasid dams are carefully managed to prevent overwhelming Bangkok's floodwalls, with current flow well within safe limits.
RID is proactively draining canal systems and preparing water retention areas to absorb new rainfall, mitigating potential flood risks.
Controlled, step-by-step discharges from both major dams are reducing water levels at critical points, with continuous monitoring of tributary flows into the Chao Phraya River.
While dam management is effective, RID emphasizes that heavy and accumulated rainfall remains the primary challenge, with more significant precipitation forecasted for the coming days.
