According to the International Rivers Network, the government must collaborate attentively with neighboring nations to improve the Mekong River‘s management to lessen future economic losses and loss of life as a result of floods.
A sizable amount of water from Myanmar, according to Pianporn Deetes, director of the International Rivers Network’s Southeast Asia Program, was responsible for the flood disaster in Chiang Rai province.
Now, there is no powerful process to deal with transboundary inundation, she said.
According to her, the government has collaborate with the neighboring nation to reduce the impact of floods on upstream residents.
She further advised that it work with nations along the lower Mekong River to reduce this risk because the Northeast of Thailand is liable to storms.
She claimed that flood in Thailand’s Northeastern region could result from large flows of water from Laos and rivers in China.
” The Mekong River Commission’s mechanism does n’t work because it only focuses on data sharing. What we need then is a co-management method for Mekong River countries, including China”, she said.
” People who live along the Mekong River should have the right to stay safe from flooding brought on by dam discharge.”
” If]Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra] greatly understands women’s suffering, she may take immediate action to deal with the maritime flood by raising the issue for a local conversation”, she added.
No one from the state has cared about the situation in a single word. This is a big loss for the citizens”.
On its site, the Thai Meteorological Department issues a warning that the government’s Northeastern, Isaan, and Central areas are expected to experience a rain strengthening on Tuesday.
Bangkok and the Eastern and Southern regions of the nation will also experience heavy rains as a result of the rain, according to the report.
Forest is a significant contributor to the flood crisis in Chiang Rai state, according to Greenpeace Southeast Asia’s Tara Buakamsri.
He claimed that the Shan State in Myanmar, which is connected to Chiang Rai’s Mae Sai region, is where the Mae Sai River and Mae Kok River’s rivers, which have overflowed and caused severe storms, originate.
According to Mr. Tara, information from satellite photographs taken between 2021 and 2023 showed that over 3.1 million acres of Shan State had been converted into corn farms to feed supply mills.
