Angry residents demolish part of Waterworks Canal embankment

Residents of a community behind Nawong Temple in Bangkok's Don Mueang district demolished a part of the Waterworks Canal embankment Sunday, causing floodwaters to contaminate raw water for making tap water.

The floodwaters also caused the water in the Waterworks Canal to overflow an inundate parts of Chaeng Wattana Road.
The part from an intersection from a bridge over the Waterworks Canal to the road in front of Mongkut Wattana Hospital was under about 40 centimetres-high water.
