RAYONG: The Royal Irrigation Department (RID) is planning to fill the Prasae Reservoir with water to anticipate a possible worsening dry spell in the Eastern region this month.

The Royal Irrigation Department (RID) is speeding up efforts to drain floodwater to low-lying areas as the situation is gradually improving.

Bangkok governor Chadchart Sittipunt has proposed building a so-called flood highway that would allow run-off from areas upstream of Bangkok to drain faster and directly into the sea.

The Royal Irrigation Department (RID) has warned provinces along the Chao Phraya River to brace for a greater risk of flooding as the Chao Phraya Dam in Chai Nat will now up its rate of discharge rate to prevent it from overfilling.

Communities along the Chao Phraya River were on Tuesday warned to stay on high alert for possible floods from Thursday until Sunday when northern flood run-off is expected to reach Bangkok.
