Permanent Secretary of Bangkok confirms that there will be no flooding like in 2011, but he is concerned that Rain Bomb will cause water retention in some areas. Mrs. Wanthanee Wattana, Permanent Secretary of Bangkok, said about the warning from the Meteorological Department about heavy rain in the Bangkok area that the BMA has prepared quite well. What they are trying to do more is to warn about the amount of rain if there is heavy rain. But what is worrying now is the Rain Bomb in some areas or falling in some places. There may be flooding because the drainage system has not been fixed. However, the BMA is ready to handle the situation. Meanwhile, the Permanent Secretary of Bangkok also asked for the public's cooperation to listen to the warning and asked for cooperation not to throw garbage in rivers, canals, and food waste into drains because it will cause fatty sediment to clog the pipes. As for the construction areas that are blocking the way, the Permanent Secretary of Bangkok said that the Canal Sy stem Division of Bangkok has already taken action to resolve the problem in many areas. However, the public areas that still have problems have already been bypassed to the side. However, the Samut Prakan side may need more care. He emphasized that the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration is making every effort to deal with the flooding problem. Mrs. Wanthanee also confirmed that the flood situation in Bangkok will not be like 2011 because the water that is flooding in the upper part of the country will be held back by dams. Right now, what Bangkok is doing is preparing to help the North. But the area below the dams will check the water level released from the Chao Phraya Dam, which is currently able to hold the water. As for the area along the Chao Phraya River in Bangkok, sand dams have been added to block the water in areas that are still missing. Source: Thai News Agency
