Report from Bangkok Post dated Thursday 12 October 2006 :-

Bangkok could see worst flood since '95 : Diverting excess Chao Phraya flow may help

Bangkok and its vicinity could see a major flood similar to the one in 1995 that submerged the entire city unless excess water in the Chao Phraya river is diverted to the vast fields along its banks in time, said senior irrigation officials yesterday. Anucha Mokawetch, director-general of the Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Department, said the speed of the Chao Phraya river in Nakhon Sawan province had reached its highest rate in 60 years.

With the rapid flow of water from the upper central provinces down the river to Bangkok strengthened by expected torrential rains, heavy flooding in Bangkok suburbs and nearby provinces is foreseeable in a week, he said.

As of yesterday, the water speed in the Chao Phraya river at its origin in Nakhon Sawan province had already exceeded the highest level recorded in 1995, with about 5,100 cubic metres per second discharged, or about 450 million cu m of water coming down per day.

Report from Bangkok Post dated Friday 13 October 2006 :-

Floods in Thailand to continue for weeks

The weather is improving in the Bangkok and surrounding regions, but flooding in the Chao Phraya River basin will well into next month as the run-off moving south is still rising, Royal Irrigation Department (RID) chief Samart Chokkanapitak said on Friday.

As of Friday, the official death toll from floods in the past month rose to 47. Damage from the flood was estimated at 305.3 million baht ($8.14 million), with more than 8,000 homes damaged, according to the Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation.

Delivering the bad news before boarding a helicopter to inspect flooding in the Chao Phraya River basin region - Bangkok plus the provinces of Nonthaburi, Pathum Thani, Ayutthaya, Ang Thong, Sing Buri, Chai Nat, Uthai Thani, and Nakhon Sawan, Mr. Samart said he was concerned that the flooding would stay longer than previously expected--at least until mid-November.

Floodwaters in the central plains will not recede until late next month when the situation is expected to return to normal, he said.

The rising floodwaters in Nakhon Sawan are overflowing into nearby Uthai Thani. Many areas along the Chao Phraya River, from Nakhon Sawan to parts of Bangkok and Samut Prakan are now in worrisome situations. Suphan Buri, and Lop Buri could not be spared from floods as well, he said.

He advised all communities in the at-risk areas to be prepared to deal with flooding during this period.

The RID chief said the department is looking for more tracts of land available in the interior countryside areas far from the Chao Phraya River in order to divert excess water from the country's central waterway.

Senior officials are scheduled to focus on flood responses during a special meetng Saturday. Special attempts are being made to local low-lying areas which are still capable of absorbing water so that they can be used for water retention during this critcal period.
