Maha Sarakham: On Tuesday, many million square meters of water escaped from the ruptured Huay Chiang Kham Reservoir in this northern state.
One man is missing and 10, 000 ray of agricultural land in four tambons are affected by the incident, according to local authorities.
Wiboon Waewbundit, the government of Maha Sarakham’s Borabue city, reported on Wednesday that a 50-meter-long rupture in the reservoir caused the water reduction at the reservoir in tambon Nonrasi at 5pm. Even though it appeared that heavy rain was a factor, the causes were unknown at push time last night.
On Wednesday, it was confirmed that five million square meters of water had poured out of the ruptured pond.
A 43-year-old man called Surachat ( surname withheld ) vanished in tambon Nonrasi as a result of the flooding, according to the PRSarakham Facebook page.
Sadayuch Chaiyalat, Borabue’s area commander, estimated the released waters had damaged 10, 000 ray of agricultural territory in four Borabue tambons: Kamphi, Nong Muang, Don Ngua and Yang.
He said the ocean is heading to Maha Sarakham’s Wapi Pathum city, next Roi Et’s Pathum Rat area, and will eventually move into the Mun River.
Panida Gudnok, a farmer in tambon Nonrasi, said she believed that about 50 % of her 7-rai wheat field may be damaged by the storm.
She even demanded compensation from state agencies for the impacted people.
According to Mr. Sadayuch, the beginning in the tank is being worked on by the Maha Sarakham Irrigation Project and Regional Irrigation Office 6.
He anticipated that the reservoir’s restoration may get five times.
Mr. Wiboon has emailed the afflicted areas’ residents via email about the disaster situation and forced them to take temporary shelters.
Nine houses were affected by the storm, which had caused traffic to be slowed down in various locations and resulted in the evacuation of 30 Tampon Kamphi residents.
But, the situation has improved, and the 30 people have returned home.
In terms of providing original assistance to the subjects of the flood, Mr. Wiboon stated that officials from the Thai Red Cross Society and the Department of Rural Roads would do so.
