Navy vessels churning water in bloated Chao Phraya

Navy vessels churning water in bloated Chao Phraya

The Royal Thai Navy on Wednesday morning deployed eight vessels, including HTMS Marnvichai, in the Chao Phraya River at the Klong Lad Pho water control station in a bid to speed flow with the churning of their engines.

The effort underway at the station in Samut Prakan’s Phra Pradaeng district is aimed at averting flooding by getting water flowing more quickly towards the Gulf of Thailand.
The plan was put into effect after the release of water from the Chao Phraya Dam in central Chai Nat province was increased above 2,700 cubic metres per second.
That flow is expected to pass through Klong Lad Pho station at a rate of 29 million cubic metres a day.
