	Atthawit Suwannapakdee said he had information and statistics from the period before the House dissolution in May 2011, which showed water storage levels in major dams were relatively normal.&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	He said after the Yingluck government took office, |concerned agencies were allegedly instructed to hold water in the dams despite the prospect of Thailand being hit by intense depression and storms.</div>
<div>
	That resulted in excessive storage of water in the dams, which was later discharged, and was partly to blame for the severe flooding in 2011.&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	Atthawit viewed this as water mismanagement, |and speculated that the decision not to reduce the |dam water levels was linked to the government&rsquo;s rice |policy.</div>
