Major Dams Swelling to Limit
Irrigation officials at many major dams have decided to discharge more water since the water levels are critical at above 80 percent capacity.
This is expected to further intensify the flood crisis in communities downstream.
The water level at the Bhumibol Dam in Tak Province is at 89 percent capacity while the discharge rate remains the same.
The Sirikit Dam in Uttaradit Province is at 97 percent of its capacity and the discharge rate remains at 57 million cubic meters per day.
Dam officials will continue to release water until Sunday.
They will then assess the situation to decide whether to readjust the dam drainage.
In Phitsanulok Province, the water level at Kwae Noi Bamrungdan Dam is nearing spilling level as it has reached 99 percent capacity.
This has forced officials to accelerate its discharge rate for nearly a week now.
However, it is highly possible that officials will have to discharge more water, which could cause further flooding in several downstream communities, especially in Wat Bot District.
The water level at the Pasak Cholasit Dam is currently at 115 percent of its capacity, by far the most worrisome of all dams.
Officials have discharged a large volume of water, causing further inundation in many areas.
The director of the dam's Operation and Maintenance Project admitted that the discharge of water will further intensify the flood situation in communities downstream in Lopburi, Saraburi and Ayutthaya provinces.
The situation will be particularly bad in Tha Rua and Nakhon Luang districts of Ayutthaya.
Meanwhile, the National Disaster Warning Center has issued a warning of possible flash floods and mudslides for Petchabun, Phitsanulok, Khon Kaen, Chantaburi, Trat and Ranong.
Residents living in low-lying areas in the central region should also brace for further flooding.

Ikke bare måden de komprimere jorden på her i Thailand der er skyld i at huset facader revner. Vil nok sige i de fleste tilfælde er det at selve fundamentet ikke er lavet som det burde. Har set flere steder de laver betonfundament, men har ”glemt” jernarmeringen.
Rigtigt.
- Og der hvor man ser de bruger armeringsjern til sokler, sørger de ikke for solid forankring til pillerne,- det er blot et løst net lagt ned i grøften til soklen. Ved opmuring af vægge laver de heller ikke forankring til pillerne for hvert skifte,- derfor kan de skride i forhold til hinanden. De borer blot en jernstang (8mm.) ind i pillen,- ingen forankring i pillen, og ingen ombøjning ved stenene så jernstangen ikke kan skride.
Gulvarmeringen bliver heller ikke bundet til sokkelarmeringen,- dvs. det hele kan skride/sætte sig i forhold til hinanden.
Spild af materialer og totalt "klodshans".
