More rains are expected in all regions of Thailand over the upcoming days which may cause flooding while less water is expected to flow into reservoirs.
The Special Center for Crisis Management issued the latest report on the flooding situation, highlighted by more rains during 8-9 August 2018 in all parts of the country due to monsoon season which will continue until 13 August 2018.
Many flooded areas were reported, including the Phetchaburi river basin where water continues to flow into Kaeng Krachan dam, while the water level in major rivers continues to rise without overflowing, except Nam Yong River in Yasothorn, and parts of Mekong River in Nakhon Panom, Mukdaharn, and Ubon Ratchathani where the water has already overflown into riverside areas.
Four reservoirs are now holding water at levels exceeding the upper rule curve, or more than 80 percent of the capacity. These include Kaeng Krachan dam reservoir which currently holds 733 million cubic meters of water or 103 percent of its capacity, with the current water flow being at an alarming rate.
The Nam Oon Dam reservoir in Sakon Nakhon is holding 534 million cubic meters, or 103 percent of its capacity. The reservoir is expected to receive less water flowing in and currently is not affecting any area. Villagers in nearby areas have been advised to constantly monitor the situation.
Vajiralongkorn Dam reservoir in Kanchanaburi is holding water by 7.495 billion cubic meters, or 85 percent of its capacity. Nearby resorts have been notified of potential flooding, while the nearby Srinagarind dam reservoir is holding 15.423 billion cubic meters of water or 87 percent of its capacity.
Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha visited Phetchaburi province to follow up on the situation and observe operations to manage the water flows from Kaeng Krachan dam.
