The Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand has released lower water from the Bhumibhol Dam, from 60 million cubic metres a day to 40 million.
The volume released from Sirikit Dam was also cut by half to 10 million cubic metres a day, according to Egat Governor Sutas Patamasiriwat.
It should take 2 weeks for the released water to reach Bangkok, he said, insisting that the release volume accounts for only 18 per cent of water that floods Nakhon Sawan.
