Pathum Thani irrigation chief believes Bangkok will be flooded

Admitting that Pathum Thani flood situation was out of control, the Northern Rangsit Irrigation Office Thursday said Bangkok would be inundated. 

The office executive Chuchat Supawatthanangkul commented that the water volume flowing through Rapeepat Canal floodwall had destroyed several floodwall parts along Khlong Luang district’s Khlong 1 to Khlong 5 canals. Flowing at 70 cubic meters per second, this water would inundate Khlong Luang and Thanya Burib districts, run through the Rangsit Prasertsak canal and certainly flood Bangkok, he said.
