Water drainage tests cancelled following heavy rains

The water drainage tests in Bangkok's eastern region have been cancelled due the heavy rainfall in the capital yesterday, according to Royal Chitradon, chairman of the Water and Flood Management Commission's subcommittee on water situation analysis.

The rainfall was measured at 60-90 millimetres over a wide area, raising the water level in Klong Song to 1.02 metres from mean sea level, despite no additional water from upstream being discharged to the canal, he said.
