The Floods of 2013

[Takiap]

HHF, I think it's all to do with the supply line being to small, combined with inadequate pressure. Quite often we'll go for days and days without water, whereas houses just 1km down the road have no problem. Even at the best of times the water only trickles into our tank. As a matter of interest, what side of town are you on?

I'm sure it won't result in anything more than a bit of localised flooding, but we had a really heavy downpour an hour or two ago.

Ubonrat Dam in Khon Kaen will begin discharging about seven million cubic metres of water per day to keep the level in the reservoir below capacity, and people living downstream are being warned of sudden flooding.

Ayutthaya told to brace for flooding
BMA insists capital is prepared

The Royal Irrigation Department has warned of more flooding in Ayutthaya and its downstream areas, with the Pasak River set to rise by up to 1.5m Sunday.

The authority needs to release more water from two dams upstream.

Ayutthaya Irrigation Office director Mitree Pitinanond said he had been informed the Rama VI dam in Tha Rua district will release more water, as the upstream Pasak Jolasid dam in Lop Buri is almost at full capacity and has to increase its own discharge.

The Pasak Jolasid dam is now at 93% of its water storage capacity...........
