Bhumibhol Dam releases more water into the Chao Phraya River by 10 million cubic metres a day, but officials assured all that it would not aggravate the water level.
Director of Bhumibol Dam Bun-in Chuenchaovalit said that while the volume is 10 million cubic metres higher, the volume released by nearby Sirikit Dam is reduced by the same level. As a result, only 60 million cubic metres are released to the river daily, unchanged from Oct 16.
He said that more water must be released from Bhumibhol Dam given more rainfalls.
