Chatchart, Governor of Bangkok, ordered to speed up water depletion, take care of weak points, and prepare to deal with the situation of rain and rising sea water.

Mr. Chatchat Sitthiphan, Governor of Bangkok Revealing preparations for dealing with rain during this period. After heavy rain for several days in a row, it was said that the rain that fell during this period would be in a lot of spots. last week 143 mm fell in the Bangna district, yesterday 73 mm fell in the Sathorn district. The overall picture is to reduce water as much as possible. Especially in the various canals, which are now being processed as much as possible. In addition, you must watch out for weak points. In the Bang Na District, there are 2 points: Bang Na Canal. In the past, there have been problems with power outages and broken trees, so it is necessary to have a water pump that uses gasoline ready. and take care of surrounding trees that are at risk of falling. Another point is the Bangna 30 area, which is a bottleneck. From a canal that was over 10 meters wide, only 3 meters was left, making it impossible for water from the north to drain down. And there will be another point around Udomsuk 103 that has the same bottleneck problem.

“Surawong 36, which is in the process of building a manhole, was flooded, so we ordered an additional water pump to be installed since yesterday. As for Sri Ayutthaya and Rama 6 Roads, Pipe Jacking is being done and orders are being given to increase pumping power. We already know how many weak points there are. Therefore, more care must be taken. For patchy rain, officials must move quickly. All six zone groups must prepare equipment. which can be moved between each other, including water pumps, BEST units taking care of and helping broken-down cars and taking care of people so they can return home Must move quickly Everyone has to work hard.”

For the matter of sea water Because the sea level is higher than Bangkok. Therefore, water needs to be pumped out of the area. We cannot open the floodgates. If it rains inside, it must be pumped out only. You must prepare enough pumping power. Don't let there be a power outage. I believe that the situation will be better than this.
