Irrigation Dept denies releasing water from Bhumibol Dam
Irrigation Department chief Somkiart Prajamwong on Saturday denied that the department had released water from the Bhumibol Dam to flood Bangkok.
Following severe flooding in Bangkok Saturday morning, rumours were spread on social networks that the department had released water to flood the capital.
Somkiart said the department had stopped releasing water from Bhumibol Dam on October 5 to try to retain as much water as possible because the rainy season is ending.
