The Chao Phraya River flows through 11 of the country’s northern provinces in anticipation of higher water levels because Chao Phraya Dam in Chai Nat speeds up water drains it.

RID acting Director-General Det Lekwichai issued the notice on Thursday to the rulers of Uthai Thani, Chai Nat, Sing Buri, Ang Thong, Suphan Buri, Ayutthaya, Lop Buri, Pathum Thani, Nonthaburi, Samut Prakan and Bangkok.

The Royal Irrigation Department’s liquid flow will increase from 1,500 to 2,00 cubic meters per second, according to Mr. Det, because more water is flowing from the North.

The C2 liquid assessment station in Nakhon Sawan may receive river water on Saturday at a rate of up to 2, 100 cubic meters per second, according to the company.

According to Mr. Det, the stream at the Chao Phraya Dam will quickly increase as the flow of water increases when the bridge releases significantly more water when combined with a edge movement of 150 cubic meters per second and the water that flows from the Sakae Krang River at a rate of 100 cubic meters per second.

According to Mr. Det,” the higher discharge is anticipated to produce higher water levels to fall by up to 1.5 meters in some low-lying areas of Ang Thong and Ayutthaya provinces that are not protected by dykes.”

However, a Facebook post said the water levels in Ayutthaya rose by 40 centimetres in a day, flooding many villages.

On Thursday, the Ayutthaya Station Facebook page published a report on the disaster scenario in the state through a number of posts.

In one, it said the state’s water levels increased by 40cm over a evening, resulting in the overflowing of the Noi River, which caused some villages in Bang Ban, Sena, and Phak Hai districts to get hit by unexpected floods.

The state has up to seven watershed fields, according to the Facebook page, and the authorities have until when that area did receive water.

The blog also criticized the authorities for acting in ways that were previously announced.

Despite recently announcing that they would do but slowly, it claimed that they had been gradually increasing the volume of pond water they were releasing over the past few weeks.

The authorities promised to try to stop the level from exceeding 1,500 square meters, but the quantity of released waters was nearly 2, 000 square meters.

” What is the truth? What is sure? Just be clear with the people”, the site demanded.

In another growth, Uttaradit’s Sirikit Dam and Phitsanulok’s Kwae Noi Bumrung Dan Dam have reduced their regular flows to 14 million square m/s and 600, 000 square m/s, both, in a pay to reduce the water levels in the Nan River after it rose to 7.33 metres.
