The Nakhon Chiang Mai Municipality on Wednesday lowered the Khu Muang canal, which surrounds the old city area, to clean it before the water splashing associated with the Songkran Festival next month.
Chiang Mai mayor Thassanai Buranupakorn said the move would result in sediment on the canal bed being dug out and lime sprinkled on the soil.
The Royal Irrigation Department would then release water and chlorine would be added to kill germs, he said.
Chiang Mai City is famous for the Khu Muang water war.
