Satellite photos show over 296,000 rai inundated in Ayutthaya, Nakhon Sawan, and Phichit. GISTDA reports flooded farmlands and polluted waters.
The Geo-Informatics and Space Technology Development Agency (GISTDA) on Wednesday released satellite photos showing approximately 296,300 rai of land inundated in three central provinces.
GISTDA released the latest photos taken by the THEOS-2 satellite, which revealed flooded areas in Ayutthaya, Nakhon Sawan, and Phichit.
GISTDA stated that the photos indicated most of the flooded land was farmland, with some areas also affecting communities and transport routes.
The photos showed that some flooded areas appeared black, and GISTDA explained this as a sign that the floodwaters had become polluted.
Some areas appeared brown or lighter. GISTDA explained that the brown zones indicated flooded waters mixed with mud or sediment, while the lighter areas represented flowing floodwaters.
GISTDA said it would forward the photos and analysis information to the relevant government agencies for handling and managing the flood situation.
