More pumps join estate-drainage effort

A total of 146 additional pumps have been installed at two heavily flooded industrial estates in Ayutthaya to speed drainage, the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand said yesterday.

 

The pumps, with tube sizes of 8 and 10 inches (20 and 25 centimetres), will run on fuel provided free by PTT at Rojana and Saha Rattana Nakhon estates, where drainage is underway. 
The two agencies are also sponsoring production of pontoons for use as floating shelters in other floodhit areas.
