The discharge increase is due to continued heavy rains and run-offs from the north.
BANGKOK – Eleven provinces in the Chao Phraya Basin, including metropolitan Bangkok, have been warned to prepare for possible flooding as the Chao Phraya Dam in Chai Nat province will increase its rate of water discharge.
The department said the adjustments would be made in steps but would be capped at 2,000 cubic me per second. This will raise the water levels in Phong Pheng Canal in Ang Thong province, and the Bang Ban Canal and the Noi River in Ayutthaya province, by between 1m and 1.5m. At the C3 station, or Chao Phraya Dam, in Chai Nat province, the water level rose slightly from Sept 25 but was still 3.52m below the bank. The flow rate at this station is 1,498 cubic m per second.
