There is no risk of Bangkok and industrial estates facing the recurrence of 2011 big floods this year, according to the Royal Irrigation Department.
“Don’t worry. Major dams are not even half full now,” the department’s director-general Suthep Noipairoj said Wednesday.
He pointed out that although the Kwai Noi and Pasak Jolasid dams were releasing water, big Bhumibol and Sirikit dams could take in more water.
