Mun River overflows, flooding farms, low-lying areas in Phimai

NAKHON RATCHASIMA: &nbsp, The Mun River burst its institutions on Saturday night, sending a large volume of water to storm rice fields and low-lying places in Phimai area.

In a number of areas, especially downstream of Phimai Dam, the river’s water levels were higher.

The Thung Samrit water operation and maintenance project’s six pipe gates were closed, preventing water from entering the Mun River and protecting monetary areas from flooding, because the dam’s holding capacity was increased by 3. 6 million cubic meters.

However, the Mun River’s water release caused major flooding in some rice grounds and low-lying areas in the tambons Nai Muang and Tha Luang.

Farmers expressed concern that if the floodwaters do n’t recede soon, their paddy plants, which are currently in the grain-yielding stage, could suffer significant damage. They pleaded with condition authorities to immediately assist them.
