People who live close to waterways in the 11 regions of the Chao Phraya creek lake, including Bangkok, are being warned of rising waters levels as a result of the torrent of discharge coming from the North.

The Chao Phraya River’s stream rate in Nakhon Sawan territory was 1, 169 cubic meters per second, according to the Royal Irrigation Department on Tuesday. The office was directing the river’s water to connect ditches on both sides of the Chao Phraya.

A bit further south, in Ayutthaya state, the Chao Phraya movement was measured at 1, 192 square feet per second, after the valley received liquid from the Pa Sak River.

On Friday, the ministry anticipated a surge of 1, 400 cubic meters per second in Nakhon Sawan and 1, 700 cubic meters per second at the Chao Phraya storm bridge, river in the adjoining Chai Nat state, at the rate of 1, 400 cubic meters per second. &nbsp, So, the division had to transfer water from the reservoir in the variety of 900-1, 400 cubic metres per next. On Tuesday night, the transfer rate increased to 917 cubic meters per second from Monday’s 700 cubic meters per second.

As a result, water rates may rise by 0.50-1.50 yards in Ang Thong and Ayutthaya regions. According to the department, the increase should n’t have an impact on neighborhoods.

However, the ministry advised people to keep an eye on water levels and make arrangements for flooding along the Chao Phraya River and in low-lying areas of 11 of the river basin’s 11 regions.

The counties are Uthai Thani, Chai Nat, Sing Buri, Ang Thong, Ayutthaya, Suphan Buri, Lop Buri, Pathum Thani, Nonthaburi, Samut Prakan and Bangkok.

The Chao Phraya River movement reached its highest peak in Nakhon Sawan at 4, 686 cubic meters per second, and at the Chao Phraya bridge in Chai Nat, at 3, 721 cubic meters per second.

The water section even reported that flood continued in Chiang Rai, Nan, Nakhon Phanom, Phayao, Phrae, Sukhothai and Suphan Buri regions. They were one of 44 counties that were affected by the floods in May. &nbsp,
