Chai Nat:The Chao Phraya Dam has begun releasing water at a rate of 1,750 cubic meters per second, prompting a warning about the rising water levels in the Chao Phraya River.
According to Thai News Agency, the Irrigation Office Region 12 in Chai Nat Province reported this update on the water situation as of September 25, 2026, at 600 AM. The office promised further updates if upstream water levels increase, leading to greater water flow through the Chao Phraya Dam.
The Royal Irrigation Department is actively monitoring and assessing factors like rainfall, runoff, and upstream water levels to manage the water resources effectively. Their aim is to balance water management while minimizing the impact on downstream areas of the dam.
Residents and sectors in low-lying areas along the Chao Phraya River, downstream of the dam, and near the Noi River are advised to stay informed about the water situation and heed official announcements. Preparations for potential changes in water levels are recommended. The Royal Irrigation Department will continue to observe the situation and provide regular updates to the public.
