Chao Phraya runoff raises flood alarm for downstream areas
The Royal Irrigation Department is monitoring rising water levels on the Chao Phraya River after increased runoff from the upper basin. The department expects discharge through the Chao Phraya Dam to rise to 500-700 cubic metres per second, which could raise downstream levels by 1-1.5 metres, prompting flood warnings for seven central provinces including Bangkok and Pathum Thani.
