Surin reservoir dyke breached, floods downstream

A reservoir breach in Surin has caused widespread flooding in Kap Choeng District and damaged the local road.

Surin Provincial Royal Irrigation Office chief Prateung Wandee said that water broke through the Ban Sawangniyom Reservoir on Wednesday evening, causing a flash flood downstream.
The office has issued a warning for people in Tambon Nongyai to prepare for a flood.
An inspection of the scene found that water had cut a 20-metre wide by four-metre deep swath through the reservoir’s earth dyke and destroyed the local concrete road on the dyke.
Prateung said officers were working hard to fix the dam and it was expected to resolve the problem within five days.
