The Meteorological Department reported that from September 3 to 6, a moderate rain storm will move down to cover Thailand’s northern, central, and northeastern regions, causing heavy rain in some areas in the North.
People in Northern Thailand should be careful of the dangers of heavy rain and accumulated rain, which may cause flash floods and forest runoff, especially in the hillside areas near waterways and lowlands.
Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Office Region reports that in the past 2-3 days, there has been no rain and no increase in water volume in the upstream areas of the Ngao River and the Lao River in Chiang Rai Province.
The Kwan Phayao side, which drains water into the Ing River at a rate of 7 million cubic meters per day, is still considered normal and has not had much impact on the Ing River, which is dropping by about 10 cm per day.
The water level has been continuously dropping in the lower part of the Ing River, including Amphoe Phayao Mengrai and Amphoe Khuntan, both in Tambon Mengrai, Tambon Mae Tam, Amphoe Phayao Mengrai and Tambon Ta and Tambon Pa Tan, Amphoe Khuntan.
However, the communities that were flooded are still flooded. It is expected that it will take at least one month for the situation to return to normal. The Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Center has brought in water pumps to urgently pump water out of flooded villages to alleviate the villagers’ suffering.
The water can be drained at 50,000 cubic meters per minute. According to government regulations, the district will stop accepting relief donations and focus on cleaning and rehabilitating those affected after today.
Meanwhile, Phayao Province has resolved to increase the release of water from Kwan Lake from 7 million cubic meters per day to 12 million cubic meters per day. The water mass should arrive in Chiang Rai in another 1-2 days, increasing the volume of the Ing River but not having as severe an impact as in the past.
